Clarification on Aspose.Total for .NET License Expiry and Impact

Aspose.Total Product Family
1

I am using Aspose.Total for .NET (Developer OEM – 1 year) license, and it is going to expire.
I would like to clarify the following points:

  1. How can we check if we are using a perpetual license?
  2. If it is a perpetual license, will our current version continue to work as expected after expiry?
  3. Will it have any impact on the projects currently in production?
  4. No further upgrade to the current version will be required, correct?

To clarify your questions regarding the Aspose.Total for .NET (Developer OEM – 1 year) license:

  1. Cause: You are seeking clarification on the nature of your license and its implications after expiration.

  2. Solution:

    • Checking for a Perpetual License: You can verify if you have a perpetual license by checking the license file you received upon purchase. A perpetual license will typically not have an expiration date mentioned in the license file.
    • Functionality After Expiry: If you have a perpetual license, your current version of the software will continue to function as expected even after the license expires. You will still be able to use the features available in the version you have at the time of expiration.
    • Impact on Production Projects: There should be no impact on your projects currently in production if you are using a perpetual license. Your applications will continue to work without interruption.
    • Upgrades: After the expiration of a time-limited license, you will not receive further upgrades to the current version unless you renew your license. However, if you have a perpetual license, you can continue using the version you have without needing to upgrade.

  3. Next Steps: Please check your license file to confirm its type. If you have further questions or need assistance with your license, do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your inquiry!

In the license file, I see SubscriptionExpiry>20250827</SubscriptionExpiry>. Does this mean it is a perpetual license?

@parthiveera,

1), 2), 3) and 4) Generally, Aspose (non metered) licenses are perpetual, meaning you can continue using the Aspose library versions released up to your subscription expiry date indefinitely. However, after the subscription expires, you will no longer get new updates, fixes or use new versions and must use the library versions available up to that date (e.g., 20250827). In short, if you do not change/update the Aspose APIs or library versions in your application on production server, your existing license will remain valid and continue to function without any issues.
