Installing Wisej.NET for Visual Studio If you want a complete step-by-step tutorial on installing Wisej.NET and creating your first project, check out: [https://docs.wisej.com/learn-wisej.net/wisej.net-tutorial](https://docs.wisej.com/learn-wisej.net/wisej.net-tutorial)

The first thing to do, now that you have installed Wisej.NET, is to launch Visual Studio and [create a new project](/docs/getting-started/new-project) . Or, launch Visual Studio and open one of our many [examples](https://wisej.com/examples/) .

Sometimes Visual Studio decides not to show the new project templates. If that happens, please follow the instructions in the [missing templates](/docs/getting-started/troubleshooting#missing-templates) section.

The first time you open the designer, you will get the [license activation](/docs/getting-started/license-activation) dialog. Enter your developer (or trial) license and everything should work.

info
You must have an internet connection to activate the developer license.

warning
If you are using the Wisej.NET Developer Community edition, please make sure to comply with the [terms & conditions](https://docs.wisej.com/license/license-model/community-edition) . Commercial use is only permitted for small organizations.

## Visual Studio Requirements

The Wisej.NET library can be used with any version of Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. However, the designer plug in is supported on Visual Studio 2019 (Wisej.NET 3.5), 2022 ( [Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/) , [Professional](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/professional/) , or [Enterprise](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/enterprise/) ) on Windows and Visual Studio 2026 (Wisej.NET 4.1).
