License settings on a per-Report basis
License information must be set to the LicenseOwner and LicenseKey properties of each Barcode CRI instance found in each report. These properties can be set through two ways:
By using Barcode Builder dialog: After you drag & drop from the Toolbox a Barcode Professional control onto the report at design-time, right-click onto it and select Properties or Barcode Builder... The Barcode Builder form will display. Just enter the license information into the last tab called About Barcode Professional as is shown in the following figure:
Note
Please, keep in mind that the license info is case-sensitive!

Remember that if you had more that one barcode item in the same report, then you must to set up the license properties to each of them.
By using Visual Studio Property Window: The other way to specify the license information to Barcode CRI is through the property window of Visual Studio. After you drag & drop from the Toolbox a Barcode Professional control onto the report at design-time, select it and then hit F4 key. The Visual Studio property window will display. Just enter the license information to the LicenseOwner and LicenseKey properties of Barcode Professional as is shown in the following figure:

That's it! After you've set up these properties the TRIAL legend should disappear from the barcode image, indicating that your copy was successfully registered as a licensed version.
License settings on a per-Server basis
Important
This method is NOT always possible to use depending on some security context set up on your server. That means that if you after following the steps stated below you cannot get it to rid of the TRIAL legend on barcodes, then you should go for the first approach i.e. License settings on a per-Report basis
