+
+# Copyright Label
+
+The __RadMap__ control displays a copyright label at the bottom of the control.
+
+This label is represented by the __MapCopyrightLabelElement__. You can access it via the __CopyrightLabelElement__ property and set its __Text__ property to customize the displayed content.
+
+>caption Figure 1: Copyright Label
+
+
+
+## Set Copyright Label
+
+````C#
+
+this.radMap1.MapElement.CopyrightLabelElement.Text = "© OpenStreetMap contributors";
+
+````
+````VB.NET
+
+Me.RadMap1.MapElement.CopyrightLabelElement.Text = "© OpenStreetMap contributors"
+
+````
+
+## Customization
+
+The MapCopyrightLabelElement can be further customized to suit your specific requirements.
+
+### Aligment
+
+The element's Alignment property determines its position. While the ContentAlignment enumeration includes vertical options such as Top, Middle, and Bottom, these are not applicable here—the copyright label is always positioned at the bottom of the map. By default, the alignment is set to MiddleRight, as shown in the first image of the article.
+
+> Note that selecting TopRight or BottomRight produces the same visual result due to the fixed bottom placement of the label.
+
+All three center alignments __ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter__, __ContentAlignment.TopCenter__, __ContentAlignment.BottomCenter__ result in the screenshot below:
+
+````C#
+
+this.radMap1.MapElement.CopyrightLabelElement.Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
+
+````
+````VB.NET
+
+Me.RadMap1.MapElement.CopyrightLabelElement.Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter
+
+````
+
+
+
+All three left alignments __ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft__, __ContentAlignment.TopLeft__, __ContentAlignment.BottomLeft__ result in the screenshot below:
+
+````C#
+
+this.radMap1.MapElement.CopyrightLabelElement.Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
+
+````
+````VB.NET
+
+Me.RadMap1.MapElement.CopyrightLabelElement.Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
+
+````
+
+
+
+
+### Margin
+
+The Margin property of the copyright label element is especially useful for fine-tuning its position relative to surrounding elements. For example, you can adjust the margin values to "stick" the label closer to the bottom edge of the map, if such a design is desired.
+
+````C#
+
+this.radMap1.MapElement.Margin = new Padding(0, 8, 20, 0);
+
+````
+````VB.NET
+
+Me.RadMap1.MapElement.Margin = new Padding(0, 8, 20, 0)
+
+````

+## Start Your Free Trial
+
+* If you already have an [active license](https://www.telerik.com/account/your-licenses) for Telerik UI for WinForms, skip this step and continue with the next step.
+* If you don't have an active license, follow the steps below to activate your free trial:
+
+ 1. [Download](https://www.telerik.com/try/ui-for-winforms) the WinForms Installer and start the installation.
+
+ 1. Make sure that **Telerik UI for .NET WinForms** is selected and continue with the setup.
+
+ 1. Log in with your Telerik account and complete the installation.
+
+ After the successful installation of Telerik UI for Winforms, the Installer activates your 30 day free trial. The installer also downloads your license key file, so you can skip the next step and continue with [Create a new WinForms Telerik Project](#create-a-new-winforms-telerik-project).
+
+## Download Your License Key File
+
+To download and install your Telerik [license key file]({%slug license-key%}):
+
+1. Go to the License Keys page in your Telerik account.
+1. Click the **Download License Key** button.
+1. Save the `telerik-license.txt` file to `%AppData%\Telerik\telerik-license.txt`.
+
+This will make the license key available to all Telerik .NET apps that you develop on your local machine.
## Download the Controls
+
The easiest way to get the controls to your development machine is to use the [Progress Control Panel](https://www.telerik.com/download-trial-file/v2/control-panel) or to download the automated MSI installer from [your telerik.com account](https://www.telerik.com/account/product-download?product=RCWF).
