Using KendoReact (Grid) with Next.js Static Site Generation (SSG)

Hello Wissam,

I'm building using the Static Site Generation method. To do so, you add `output: 'export'` to the `next.config.js`. The default output of the build is in `out`.

Hi, Erik,

Thank you for getting back to me with more information.

I tested the Grid component and the license with a static export. Basically, I first added the license in the `kendo-ui-license.txt` file and placed it in the root folder of the project. I then run `npx kendo-ui-license activate` in order to activate the license.

After that, I updated `next.config.js`, run npm run build, and then I got this messages after running npm run start - `Error: "next start" does not work with "output: export" configuration. Use "npx serve@latest out" instead.`. Therefore, I used `npx serve @latest out`,  and the Grid rendered without a license warning.

Therefore, I can confirm that the license works with a static export, and . On the other hand, I believe that this could be caused by the `.next` folder that stores the licensing information in the cache. I would suggest deleting it and trying to run the build again.

I am sending my test project as an attachment. You can test it by adding the license in `kendo-ui-license.txt`, and when you run the production server, navigate to the `http://localhost:3000/kendo-grid` URL.

On the other hand, if deleting the `.next` folder does not work, I would suggest following the steps below in order to resolve this issue:

1. Download your license key from the following link
   https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/my-license/#toc-download-your-license-key
   
2. Copy the license key file (kendo-ui-license.txt) to the root folder of your application or alternatively copy the contents of the file to the KENDO_UI_LICENSE environment variable.
3. Delete the `node_modules` folder and the `package-lock.json` files
4. Run npm install
5. Run npm install --save @progress/kendo-licensing
6. Run npx kendo-ui-license activate
7. Delete `.next` and the `out` folder
8. Build the project and run the production server again

If the above does not resolve the license warning, could you please send me your licensing file so that I can test it further?

Wissam,

Thank you! I ran through the steps you provided and I'm no longer seeing the license warning on the page using Grid.

Again, thank you very much for the help.

Best,
Erik
