Installing Nubrik for Umbraco

Last updated on Jun 08, 2026

Nubrik is a visual builder for agencies and in-house teams who want full brand control on Umbraco - without lock-in, without compromise. Nubrik sits alongside Umbraco and writes everything back natively. Find more information at nubrik.app

This guide is for customers and implementation partners. It focuses on minimum requirements, installation, licensing, and support.

Minimum requirements

  • Umbraco: Umbraco 17

  • .NET: .NET 10 SDK/runtime

  • Database: SQL Server supported by Umbraco 17

  • Browser: Latest stable Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari

  • Hosting: Any hosting environment that supports Umbraco 17 and .NET 10

Your website should already be able to run a standard Umbraco 17 project before installing Nubrik.

Installation

Install Nubrik packages into your Umbraco website using NuGet.

Example:

dotnet add package Nubrik --version 17.0.0

Restore and build the site:

dotnet restore
dotnet build

Run the website:

dotnet run

After the site starts, sign in to the Umbraco backoffice and confirm that the Nubrik section and builder features are available.

License key

A valid license key is required for production use.

Add the license key to your website configuration:

{
  "Nubrik": {
    "Licensing": {
      "Key": "YOUR-LICENSE-KEY"
    }
  }
}

For production hosting, prefer environment-specific configuration or secure hosting secrets instead of committing license keys to source control.

Example environment variable name:

Nubrik__Licensing__Key

The license key is used by the Umbraco website that runs Nubrik.

The key should be handled by:

  • The website owner or customer technical contact.

  • The implementation partner responsible for deployment.

  • The hosting or DevOps team managing production configuration.

Do not share license keys in public repositories, support tickets, screenshots, or documentation.

License support

Contact Nubrik support if you need help with:

  • Requesting a new license key.

  • Moving a license to a new domain.

  • Renewing or upgrading a license.

  • Troubleshooting license activation.

  • Confirming production licensing requirements.

Contact support at support@nubrik.app

When contacting support, include the customer name, project name, licensed domain, Umbraco version, Nubrik version, and a short description of the issue.

Do not send the full license key unless support specifically asks for it through an approved secure channel.

Important notes

  • Keep Umbraco and Nubrik package versions aligned with the supported release notes.

  • Test package updates in a staging environment before production.

  • Keep license keys private.

  • Contact support before changing production domains or license ownership.

Made with love for Umbraco.
