Represents a bundle of license providers that implement the interface. This class allows you to combine multiple license providers and retrieve licenses from them sequentially.
public class LicenseProviderBundle : IAsyncLicenseProvider, ILicenseProvider, ICollection<ILicenseProvider>, IEnumerable<ILicenseProvider>, IEnumerable
Initializes a new instance of the class. This class is used to combine multiple license providers and retrieve licenses from them sequentially.
public LicenseProviderBundle()
Examples
var bundle = new LicenseProviderBundle();
// Create a local file license provider that will look for a license file in the current directory
// or will load the specified license file path from the MY_APPLICATION_LICENSE_PATH environment variable.
var localProvider = new BabelFileLicenseProvider();

// Create service license provider that will contact the Babel Licensing Service to validate the license
BabelLicensingConfiguration config = new BabelLicensingConfiguration() {
// Set the service URL
ServiceUrl = "http://localhost:5005",
// Set the unique client ID
ClientId = "my application client ID",
};
// Create the client object used to communicate with the server
var client = new BabelLicensing(config);
// Use BabelServiceLicenseProvider to cache a local copy of the license for offline use
