dotConnect for
Oracle is distributed in two ways:
- As the installer
that provides assemblies for Full .NET Framework, documentation, samples, and
all the necessary files.
- As NuGet packages
with .NET Standard compatible assemblies for .NET Core.
The activation key
provided above is used only with .NET Standard compatible assemblies from NuGet
packages.
If you want to
target Full .NET Framework in your projects:
1. If you have a trial version of dotConnect for Oracle installed,
uninstall it first, and then install the licensed version from the Devart Account.
2. Install the
downloaded licensed version.
3. Clear the bin and
obj folders of your projects, built with the trial version of dotConnect for
Oracle and rebuild them.
dotConnect for Oracle uses .NET component licensing for Full .NET
Framework. See the Licensing topic of
dotConnect for Oracle documentation for more details about technical licensing
of your projects.
If you want to
target .NET Core in your projects:
1. Install dotConnect for Oracle NuGet packages to your project
from www.nuget.org (.NET Core
compatible assemblies are not included in the installer and are only available
via NuGet packages).
2. Copy your activation key (either from purchase confirmation email or from your Devart
Account) and assign it to the License Key connection string parameter in your projects.
