Hi guys,
I noticed that some of the latest custom visuals which require additional purchase have implemented this feature where
" In Power BI Desktop, visual can be used without restrictions. However in Power BI Online service it displays a watermark."
Could you guide how this is possible with power Bi visuals SDK or api?

Hi @Husain,
I don't commercialise my visuals but I presume that you'll want to look at the hostEnv property on the options (IVisualHost) object exposed in the constructor method. This value is from the CustomVisualHostEnv enum and you should be able to use it to distinguish the current host environment.
As this is only available at instantiation, you would probably use the constructor to set up the watermark element based on your criteria, but if your logic handles this outside the constructor then I would store this value in a separate class property for later on if needed.
Also: it looks like this was introduced in 3.2.0 of powerbi-visuals-api, so ensure you have at lease that version for it to be usable in your project.
