In your code, use the SetLicenseKey method of control, which takes your license key, the user name (or company name), and the e-mail used during purchase as parameters. Call this method in Form OnCreate/OnLoad events or anywhere before the Start/Play method call.
You can use the SDK installed by a standalone setup file or the NuGet package installed on your project.
Each DirectShow SDK contains a custom IVFRegister interface that can be used to apply your license key in the app code. Virtual Camera SDK optionally allows registration using the registry.
Call the SetLicenseKey method of the main SDK class with your license key.
