 ## Solution
 
-To resolve this issue, ensure the `Telerik.Licensing` NuGet package is directly referenced in the startup project of your application. Follow the steps below:
+### General Instructions for .NET and .NET Framework Projects
+
+To resolve this issue, ensure the [Telerik.Licensing](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Telerik.Licensing) NuGet package is directly referenced in the startup project of your application. Follow the steps below:
 
 1. **Identify the Startup Project**: Determine which project serves as the entry point for your application. 
+1. **Add `Telerik.Licensing` NuGet Package**: Navigate to the startup project and add the [Telerik.Licensing](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Telerik.Licensing) NuGet package manually. You can do this using the NuGet Package Manager or the Package Manager Console.
 
-2. **Add `Telerik.Licensing` NuGet Package**: Navigate to the startup project and add the `Telerik.Licensing` NuGet package manually. You can do this using the NuGet Package Manager or the Package Manager Console.
+   Example using Package Manager Console - `Install-Package Telerik.Licensing -Version 1.6.5`
+   
+1. **Clean and Rebuild the Solution**: Perform a clean build of your solution to ensure all dependencies are correctly resolved.
+1. **Test the Application**: Run the application again and verify if the reports are correctly generated without displaying the "Invalid license" message.
 
-   Example using Package Manager Console:
-   ```bash
-   Install-Package Telerik.Licensing -Version 1.6.5
-   ```
+### .NET Framework-Specific Instructions
 
-3. **Clean and Rebuild the Solution**: Perform a clean build of your solution to ensure all dependencies are correctly resolved.
+For .NET Framework startup projects that do not use the [SDK-style project](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/project-sdk/overview) structure, ensure that there is one or more **Telerik Reporting** NuGet packages/assemblies referenced in the project.
 
-4. **Test the Application**: Run the application again and verify if the reports are correctly generated without displaying the "Invalid license" message.
+If the startup project contains no **Telerik Reporting** references and is not defined as [SDK-style project](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/project-sdk/overview), and is instead referencing other projects that contain the Reporting-related code, our licensing mechanism cannot determine that any **Telerik** products are used, thus the license check will be `False` at runtime.
 
+In such scenarios, add a reference to the `Telerik.Reporting.dll` so that the licensing build task can determine that **Telerik Reporting** is used and generate the necessary files to use during runtime.
 
----
+Additionally, if a version newer than **1.6.5** of the [Telerik.Licensing](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Telerik.Licensing) NuGet package is installed, ensure that a binding redirect is present in the `App.config`/`Web.config` file of the startup project. For example:
+
+````XML
+  <runtime>
+    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
+      <dependentAssembly>
+        <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Licensing.Runtime" publicKeyToken="98bb5b04e55c09ef" culture="neutral" />
+        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.6.9.0" newVersion="1.6.9.0" />
+      </dependentAssembly>
+    </assemblyBinding>
+  </runtime>
+````
