License not working in PDF Editor Sample Project

I am trying to apply a 30 day trial license to the PDF Editor Sample Project. I have followed the instructions via Aspose licensing help and it does not recognize the license. Here is where I am putting the code.

namespace AsposePdfEditor
{
public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        License license = new License();
        // Set license
        license.SetLicense("Aspose.Pdf.lic");


    }

  
}

}

I have the license in the same folder as the Aspose.Pdf.dll as the instructions stated

Thank you for contacting support.

Please try setting the license path explicitly, as in the code below:

license.SetLicense(@"D:\Licenses\Aspose.Pdf.lic");

Moreover, you do not necessarily need to set license on Page_Load event of your application because page can be loaded more than once in same application. The license only needs to be set once per application. So, while working with a web application, you can call SetLicense from Global.asax.cs/Global.asax.vb file in Application_Start protected method.

In case the problem persists, please share a sample project reproducing this issue; along with your license file by following the instructions written over this link, so that we may investigate further to help you out.
