License not found in package

Valentijn

Hi,

I'm trying to assign licenses to npm packages that have embedded license files.

But the kendo packages give an error:
(500) Server Error License not found in package

There is a license file in the package but it's called license.md
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@progress/kendo-licensing

Regards,

Valentijn

Hi @v-makkenze_6348,

thanks for the report, I was able to reproduce it with that particular package. We plan to resolve this via PG-2587 in the next maintenance release scheduled for next Friday.

Hello,

We are experiencing the same issue. When trying to "Assign File to License" for a kendo package (specifically @progress/kendo-charts), we get "(500) Server Error License not found in package". Is this still a known issue?

Using Proget Version 2025.17.

Thanks.

Hi @dwynn_6489 ,

I was able to reproduce this issue; the issue is that the package's license declaration specifies a license file of package/license.txt, but that file does not exist in the package.

We will improve this error message via PG-3199 in the upcoming maintenance release, but in the meantime, the only workaround is to manually assign the license under SCA Licenses. The new version of ProGet will include a direct link to that page for convenience.

The Purl you'd need to add is as follows:

pkg:npm/%40progress/kendo-charts@2.9.0

Hope that helps,
Alana
