+
+## Description
+
+Starting with [2025.1.205 (2025 Q1)]({%slug release-notes-2025-1-205%}), all users of the Telerik and Kendo UI components and tools, will need to apply a valid license key file to both, new and existing projects. For details, see our [Licensing Documentation]({%slug license-key%}).
+
+When working with Telerik Document Processing libraries, managing NuGet package sources efficiently becomes crucial, especially with the introduction of the **Telerik.Licensing** package. The Telerik NuGet Packages can be downloaded from the [Telerik NuGet Server]({%slug installation-nuget-packages%}#manually-download-nuget-packages). However, the **Telerik.Licensing** NuGet package is not available for download from the same feed.
+
+This knowledge base article demonstrates how to configure NuGet package sources to facilitate smooth package restoration for both, Telerik Document Processing libraries and the Telerik.Licensing package. 
+
+This knowledge-base article also answers the following questions:
+- How do I manage Telerik packages using the _NuGet.config_ file?
+- What is the best way to configure NuGet package sources for Telerik Document Processing libraries?
+- How can I ensure the Telerik.Licensing package is restored correctly in my projects?
+
+## Solution
+
+With Q1 2025, all Telerik and Kendo UI products require the Telerik.Licensing NuGet package. The [Telerik.Licensing NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Telerik.Licensing) can be obtained through the `nuget.org` feed with **Package source**: *"https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json"* and is not available for download from the Telerik NuGet feed. **This prevents having to upload the package separately for each product in the Download system, which can lead to duplication and needing to do corresponding product releases.**
+
+To ensure the Telerik.Licensing package and the Telerik Document Processing libraries are restored correctly, follow the steps below to configure your NuGet.config file:
+
+1\. **Modify the NuGet.config file** to include both the `nuget.org` and the [Telerik NuGet feed]({%slug installation-nuget-packages%}). This setup allows the restoration of the Telerik Document Processing libraries from the Telerik NuGet feed and the Telerik.Licensing package from `nuget.org`.
+
+```xml
+  <packageSources>
+    <clear/>
+    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
+    <add key="Telerik_v3_Feed" value="https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3"/>
+  </packageSources>
+```
+
+2\. Ensure that your **Telerik account** has the appropriate licenses and that you are authenticated correctly in the Telerik NuGet feed to avoid issues with accessing the Telerik Document Processing libraries.
+
+3\. For **Continuous Integration (CI)** environments, ensure the Telerik.Licensing package is accessible via `nuget.org` and the CI environment has access to the internet to restore the package. Alternatively, consider [manually downloading the NuGet packages]({%slug installation-nuget-packages%}#manually-download-nuget-packages) and hosting them in a local feed or directory accessible by your CI environment.
+
+By following these steps, you can efficiently manage the NuGet package sources for your projects that use Telerik Document Processing libraries and ensure the Telerik.Licensing package is restored correctly.
