Adding a license key for the MAUI SDK

Nutrient MAUI SDK is a commercial product, and it uses a license key to verify your copy against the package name or bundle ID you registered.

Alternatively, you can initialize the SDK in trial mode without a license.

Generating the license key

To use a Nutrient license with your app, you have to generate a license key and bind it to the applicationId bundle ID of your app.

  1. Log in to the Nutrient Portal using the credentials you received when purchasing Nutrient. Go to the list of your purchased licenses.

  2. Locate your license (e.g. MAUI for Windows) and select the button next to it. A dialog will open.

  3. Enter the bundle ID of your production app. If you’re unsure about this step, please read our bundle ID guide first.

  4. Confirm your selected bundle ID. Please double-check that the chosen identifier matches the one configured in your app, as it can no longer be changed once it’s been set.

Getting the license key

  1. Log in to the Nutrient Portal using the credentials you received when purchasing Nutrient. Go to the list of your purchased licenses.

  2. Locate your license (e.g. MAUI for Windows) and click the license key button next to it. If there’s no such button, ensure you’ve already generated the license key.

  3. A dialog will open showing you a code snippet with your license key.

  4. After copying the license key to your project, the Nutrient SDK will be ready to use.

Adding the license key

Adding the license key can be done when initializing a PDFView. In XAML, when integrating the PDFView control, you can use its License property like so:

xmlns:pspdfkit="clr-namespace:PSPDFKit.Sdk;assembly=Sdk"

<pspdfkit:PDFView License="{OnPlatform
                    Android="YOUR_MAUI_ANDROID_LICENSE_HERE",
                    iOS="YOUR_MAUI_IOS_LICENSE_HERE",
                    MacCatalyst="YOUR_MAUI_MAC_CATALYST_LICENSE_HERE",
                    WinUI="YOUR_MAUI_WINDOWS_LICENSE_HERE"}" />

Trial mode

For the trial experience, you can initialize the SDK without a license. This can be done by omitting the License property of the PDFView in XAML:

xmlns:pspdfkit="clr-namespace:PSPDFKit.Sdk;assembly=Sdk"

<pspdfkit:PDFView />
