Hello All,
We have been using an old version of Aspose Java Word. When I updated to the latest version, I encountered a watermark in the document. However, the license has an expiry date, but it is still working. I don’t understand how the license works because we want to update to the latest version, which fixes a lot of issues
thank you in advance
@infosss Most likely the license does not work with new version actually. I suppose the exception thrown by SetLicense method is couth and silenced somewhere in your code and Aspose.Words works in the evaluation mode and as result inject an evaluation version watermark.
Every Aspose license provides a 1-year subscription for free upgrades to any new Aspose.Words version that comes out.
You can check the license expiration date by opening the license file in Notepad (but take care not to modify and save the license file or it will no longer work) and checking the SubscriptionExpiry field.
<SubscriptionExpiry>20220218</SubscriptionExpiry>
It means that you can free upgrade to version of Aspose.Words published before 02/18/2022.
The license can be used perpetually with Aspose.Words version released before the license expiration date. If it is required to use the version published after the license expiration date, it is required to renew the license.
Thank you Alexey for the reply. If I understand correctly, SubscriptionExpiry doesn’t mean that Aspose stop working after this date. You can still generate documents without a watermark. However, if you upgrade to a version released after the SubscriptionExpiry date, you will need a new license
