 License Package Authoring Tool Help Index

Description

The License Package Authoring Tool (LPK) allows you to author an LPK file.

An HTML Page with licensed controls requires a single associated license package which stores the run-time licenses for all the controls used on the page. The HTML page should point to a license package via a relative URL. This tool allows you to author a license package file.

For more information on Licensing, please refer to the following document.
