Revisiting Telerik with licensing update

So if you've read my instructions for upgrading Sitecore 7.1's Telerik rich text editor, then you may have run into the same problem that I did. In an attempt to quickly solve a problem (haste makes waste), I made the mistake of ignoring the license change with Telerik in 2015. Telerik modified its license with the start of the 2015 releases. It turns out the DLLs I used in my previous post were only valid for 30 days. After which Telerik would randomly give your content editors a nuisance warning message:
Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAXtrial version. Copyright Telerik © 2002-2012. To remove this message, please, purchase a developer version.

After working with Sitecore support (great help), they supplied a licensed version of the DLLs for Telerik 2015.1.401.45.

     <dependentAssembly>
          <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Web.UI" publicKeyToken="121fae78165ba3d4" culture="neutral" />
          <bindingRedirect oldVersion="2012.2.607.35" newVersion="2015.1.401.45" />
        </dependentAssembly>
       
      <dependentAssembly>
          <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Web.UI.Skins" publicKeyToken="121fae78165ba3d4" culture="neutral" />
          <bindingRedirect oldVersion="2012.2.607.35" newVersion="2015.1.401.45" />
        </dependentAssembly>


 My apologies to anyone who rushed to implement my unsupported solution. This one will work, and hopefully I can put this topic to bed for now.
