# .NET

The .NET SDK can be used both for applications targeting .NET Framework and newer versions of .NET (.NET Core, .NET Standard and more recent version). Most of the examples on our documentation page include both C# and VB.NET, as well as ways you can install the library. If you would like to access the source code, you can view it on the following link: [https://github.com/Cryptolens/cryptolens-dotnet](https://github.com/Cryptolens/cryptolens-dotnet)

We have included general guides below that are also available on the link above.

Documentation is available on this page: [https://help.cryptolens.io/api/dotnet/api/index.html](https://help.cryptolens.io/api/dotnet/api/index.html)

## Getting started

### Install Nuget package

In Visual Studio package manager

```powershell theme={null}
PM> Install-Package Cryptolens.Licensing
```

Using dotnet CLI

```shellscript theme={null}
dotnet add package Cryptolens.Licensing
```

**If you are targeting Mac, Linux or Unity/Mono, we recommend to use the cross platform version of that package.**

In Visual Studio package manager

```shellscript theme={null}
PM> Install-Package Cryptolens.Licensing.CrossPlatform
```

Using dotnet CLI

```shellscript theme={null}
dotnet add package Cryptolens.Licensing.CrossPlatform
```

<Note>
  **Note:** If you plan to use the client with Mono (eg. in Unity) or on Linux/Mac, you need to use the cross platform version of the library, [Cryptolens.Licensing.CrossPlatform](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Cryptolens.Licensing.CrossPlatform/), which is available on NuGet. You can also download the pre-compiled binaries [here](https://github.com/Cryptolens/cryptolens-dotnet/releases).
