when the developer does not have a license configured on their machine. Early on in the workflow of our app, the application will crash when we attempt to create a new PopupOverlay from an external dependency, such as the CommunityToolkit,

I have a user who reported a crash. In Sentry, I see this:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

  ?, in void TelerikLicense.VerifyLicense(Element element)+() => { }
