EDI Tools for .NET is a single DLL file (also available as a NuGet package)

Serial Key

To use EDI Tools for .NET, you need a valid serial key, and if you want to learn how the serial key works, go to this article.

The serial key is applied programmatically using the following code:

EdiFabric.SerialKey.Set("Valid Serial Key");

The same key can be used across all products that come with every EdiFabric plan - as the API key when accessing EdiNation or EdiNation InHouse and as the serial key when using EdiFabric EDI Tools.
