+>important Protecting the Telerik dlls is required only with versions prior to **2025 Q2 (2025.2.520)**. With the introduction of our new [licensing mechanism](https://www.telerik.com/blogs/license-key-files-telerik-kendo-ui-products-2025-update), Telerik UI suites have simplified deployment requirements. __Starting with 2025 Q2, users are no longer required to protect the Telerik assemblies__. Instead, the respective Telerik product now requires [installing a license key]({%slug setting-up-license-key%}). Applications without a valid license will continue to function normally, but will contain a watermark.
