  Hi,

  We are using standard Wijmo 5 - Base Product components in the electron app.
  
  We want to install Wijmo components via npm.

  My question is, what domain do I use to create a distribution key? Since our app is an Angula SPA, hosted inside the electron shell.

  https://electronjs.org/ is what I am refering to, in case unfamiliar with electron.

  Electron apps run under the “file” protocol, so there’s no real domain.

  Wijmo understands that and does not check the license domain in this case.

  Bottomline is electron apps can use wijmo keys generated for any domain (e.g. “localhost”, or your company name for example).

  Here’s a short sample I used to double-check this:

  // import Wijmo
  var wjCore = require('./node_modules/wijmo/wijmo.js');
  var wjGrid = require('./node_modules/wijmo/wijmo.grid.js');
  var wjChart = require('./node_modules/wijmo/wijmo.chart.js');
  
  // set the license key (the domain info will not be used)
  var key = 'GrapeCity-Internal-Use-Only,392619583864964#B0xJ9b...';
  wjCore.setLicenseKey(key);
  
  // create the controls
  var theGrid = new wjGrid.FlexGrid('#theGrid', {
      itemsSource: getData()
  });
  
  

  The app ran without a nag screen and without a watermark.

  I hope this information helps.
