All components are compatible with Angular 7 since its official release. I am attaching a sample Angular 7 app featuring the Kendo Grid for your reference.

Hi Dimitry
Which version of Telerik data grid supported in angular 7 and from where can I download that version and the documentation?
Hi Gershon,
In general, our team tries to provide day-one support for each major version that Angular releases. We do that by releasing a new version of our components and marking it as the starting point where we officially support the respective major version of the Angular framework.
To address your particular requirement, the exact version of the Kendo UI for Angular Grid package, in which official support for Angular 7 was introduced is v3.9.0:
This means that all versions of the Kendo UI for Angular Grid package starting from v3.9.0 are compatible with Angular 7 until we officially drop the support for the specific version of the framework. Particularly, we officially dropped the support for Angular 7 in v5.0.0 of the Grid package:
Nevertheless, since Angular 7 is not an actively supported version by both the Angular framework and the Kendo UI for Angular library, we strongly recommend utilizing an Angular version that is currently supported, which correspondingly suggests that the used version of the Kendo packages should also be the compatible one.
This would not only ensure the best possible performance of our products but also grant access to important new features and bug fixes. In this line of thought, here are a few useful resources that provide information about this matter:
- https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/installation/up-to-date/#toc-updating-angular
- https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/installation/up-to-date/#toc-updating-to-compatible-releases
- https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/installation/up-to-date/#toc-updating-to-latest-versions
For further reference, such information regarding the compatible Kendo UI for Angular versions for a particular Angular release can be found in the compatibility table from the following documentation article:
It is worth noting that the information provided in the above article applies to versions of the Kendo packages, released after the transition to a single repository for the library, i.e. v11.0.0 of Kendo UI for Angular. On that note, the compatibility details of older Kendo UI for Angular and Angular versions respectively can be found in the dedicated Changelog archive of the corresponding package:
Lastly, regarding the correct setup and installation of the Kendo UI for Angular packages, the approach depends on whether NgModules are utilized in the application:
- Using Kendo Angular Components with NgModules - https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/installation/using-modules/
Alternatively, in case the standalone components approach is required to be utilized in a project, please refer to the respective Getting Started article of the desired package:
I hope the provided information sheds some light on the matter.

Thanks. Just to be clear since you're attaching a sample for Angular 7. We are planning to upgrading Angular 5 to 6. but since the Kendo components are compatible with Angular 7, I'm thinking to go with 7. I did a proof of concepts upgrading from 5 to 6, I followed the instruction from this post https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/installation/angular-6/ , all the components work fine without any code refactoring.
So, for Angular 7, I guess the process still the same? follow the steps from the post https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/installation/angular-6/ and all the components should work fine without any code changes?
Thanks,
Bryian Tan
You are correct, the process for upgrading to Angular 7 is no different than upgrading to Angular 6, the only requirements are to use the latest versions of our packages, and rxjs-compat for RxJS 6+ compatibility. We will likely drop the second requirement when LTS for Angular 5 expires in May 2019 when the new versions of our packages will likely support Angular 6+ only.

I don't recall on the steps I followed when I installed using npm i @progress/kendo-angular-grid@3.14.4. And its been over 6 months. I can still use the grid component with out any issues.
How do I know if I have installed trial version or the licensed version ?
If there is no difference between "licensed" and "non-licensed" versions, how do I make sure that I have licensed version for long-term use.
Hi Trushar,
There are no separate license and trial versions of our packages. The purchased license gives developers the opportunity to legally use our components in their applications in accordance with the End User License Agreement, and to benefit from our support system as per the purchased support plan for the period of the license:
https://www.telerik.com/purchase/kendo-ui
https://www.telerik.com/purchase/license-agreements
https://www.telerik.com/purchase/support-plans
Currently, the only requirement for using the current versions of our packages is to have a valid license that includes Kendo UI for Angular. In the future we may introduce some mechanic for integrating a license key that verifies the developer in the application, but we will communicate this and all required steps accordingly when the time comes, and the change will affect future versions of the packages only.
