Evaluation Only. Created with Aspose.Cells.... started overnight

Can you assist? We checked the .lic file and it matches what you sent us originally. Did a deployment last night but no change to and of this part of the program. Any ideas?

Can you please provide more details about the specific issue you are facing with Aspose.Cells? What error message are you receiving, and what changes were made during the deployment?

we are getting the Ecaluation message in new spreadsheets. This started over night. We did a deployment overnight but no changes to this infrastructure. Do the .lic files need any special permissions or what could I be checking? .lic file contents match.

@dribar,

Could you please make sure that your licensing code is processed at first before processing any other APIs, you may debug or place line breaks for authentication on the relevant lines of code regarding licensing. Also, give us details on which version of the Aspose.Cells API you are using on the (deployed) server? Is your license valid to use the version of Aspose.Cells (that is being used in your project)? Does the project work fine in your local/development machine?

We have not made any changes to this code, just a deployment for other reasons.

I do not have the same problem on my DEV server. The .lic files are in the project so the same on both servers. The lic file says LicenseVersion 3.0

The production server is locked down to changes, so can’t image somehow we got a new version of .cells installed somehow.

Comparing the two bin folders, I see the dev box has a file: Aspose.cells.xml that the production server does not have. Is that the possible problem?

@dribar,

Please check and confirm on which Aspose.Cells version is being used on DEV server and production server? Are you using different versions (please specify version number(s) of Aspose.Cells) on the two servers (DEV and production)?

This is API reference (documentation) XML file and nothing else. I don’t think this is causing your issue.

DEV = 24.8
Production = 24.8
both have the same date stamp: 8/7/24

@dribar,

Thanks for the details.

There should be something different/issue with your production server or its app (using Aspose.Cells). Could you please create a separate and simple (a “hello world” type) console VS.NET app on the production server manually, in which you import Aspose.Cells v24.8 in the project, set the license using your current license file and then create/save the Excel file to disk. Do you still get/find the “evaluation watermark” sheet in the output Excel file (generated by Aspose.Cells)?

Thanks for the help. No changes to production and it just started working correctly again. No clue.
