DataTable.key()

Since: DataTables 3

Set a license key.

Description

Starting with DataTables 3, there is a DataTables Plus purchase option which had extensions such as Editor available as part of it. When you purchase DataTables Plus you will receive a license key. To use the extensions that are part of DataTables Plus you must register this key with your DataTables install.

Please note that DataTables core does not require "DataTables Plus" for any build in features. The "Plus" plan is for the commercial extensions, but this method provides a central location for registering your license key.

Type

Set the license key for DataTables Plus usage.

Parameters:

	Name	Type	Optional
1	`value`	`string`	No
	Your license key for DataTables Plus. This can be found on the download page and your account information.

Returns:

void: No value is returned.
