About licence for little use

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello,
About two years ago, I developed a Winforms program in C# that printed in PDF through Aspose.PDF. Then my disk crashed, and the application was not properly saved. So, I want to develop it again.
By default each document begins with a mention in red signalling a try version.
I remember that two possibilities exist to avoid that mention: one version only prints a certain number of records, but with no limit in time ; the other one offers full functionality, but for 30 days.
For the latter I saw the link is supposed to appear during the purchase procedure, to get a license number (and I presume the procedure to seize it appears at the same moment).
Does the first version, that prints a few records, still exist ?

Cause

You are encountering the evaluation watermark in Aspose.PDF because you are using the trial version. The trial version has limitations, including a watermark on generated PDFs and a restriction on the number of pages that can be processed.

Solution

The first version you mentioned, which allows you to process a limited number of pages without a time restriction, is still available. In the current evaluation version, you can process up to four pages of a document. To test the full functionality without these limitations, you can request a 30-day temporary license.

Code

To set a license in your application, use the following code snippet:

// Initialize license object
var license = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
try
{
    // Set license
    license.SetLicense("Aspose.Pdf.lic");
    Console.WriteLine("License set successfully.");
}
catch (Exception)
{
    // Handle exceptions
    Console.WriteLine("Failed to set license.");
}

Ensure that the license file is placed in the same directory as your application or provide the full path to the license file.

Next Steps

  1. If you wish to continue using the evaluation version, you can process up to four pages.
  2. If you need full functionality, apply for a temporary license through the Aspose website.
  3. Implement the licensing code in your application to eliminate the evaluation watermark.

Please let me know if you need further assistance!

Hello,
It is very good news that the first version still exists, thank you.
As I remember, it has a different name than the other one ?
If you can help me find it, that would be nice.

All versions of the API offer the same evaluation functionality, which includes the ability to process only four elements of any collection and the appearance of an evaluation watermark in the generated output. By obtaining a free 30-day temporary license, you can remove these limitations and fully evaluate the API’s capabilities.

We strongly recommend using the latest version of the API along with the temporary license to experience its complete functionality. Once you are satisfied with the results, you may proceed with purchasing a full-year license.
