and will the above license work for lates version of aspose(Aspose.Pdf,Aspose.Words,Aspose.Cells,Aspose.Slides,Aspose.BarCode)

Cause

You do not need to include your order ID and user ID in the .lic file. The license file itself is a plain text XML file that contains the necessary details, such as the product name and subscription expiry date. Modifying the file can invalidate it, so it’s best to keep it as is.

Solution

To apply the license, you simply need to use the SetLicense method in your code. This method can accept the file name of your license file, which should be placed in the same directory as your application or specified with a full path.

Code

Here’s a simple example of how to set the license in your application:

// Create a new License object
License license = new License();

// Set the license file
license.SetLicense("Aspose.Total.lic");

Make sure that the license file is accessible at the specified path.

Next Steps

  1. Ensure that your license file is correctly named and located in the expected directory.
  2. Test the application to confirm that the license is applied successfully and that you can access the latest features of Aspose products.
  3. If you encounter any issues, check the documentation for any specific requirements related to the version of the Aspose products you are using.

@Nara_Bhavya,

You do not need to add Order ID or User ID to the .lic file. Aspose.Total for .NET includes a unified license that works with all .NET-based products including:

  • Aspose.Cells
  • Aspose.Words
  • Aspose.Pdf
  • Aspose.Slides
  • Aspose.BarCode
  • etc.

The following example assumes you have a license file, i.e., Aspose.Total.NET.lic and you’re working in a .NET (Core or Framework) application. See the example on how to set license for different .NET APIs for your reference.

using System;
using Aspose.Cells;
using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Pdf;
using Aspose.Slides;
using Aspose.BarCode.Generation; // or Aspose.BarCode.BarCodeRecognition if using barcode reader

namespace AsposeLicenseDemo
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string licensePath = "Aspose.Total.NET.lic"; // Full path to your license file

            try
            {
                // Apply license to Aspose.Cells
                var cellsLicense = new Aspose.Cells.License();
                cellsLicense.SetLicense(licensePath);

                // Apply license to Aspose.Words
                var wordsLicense = new Aspose.Words.License();
                wordsLicense.SetLicense(licensePath);

                // Apply license to Aspose.Pdf
                var pdfLicense = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
                pdfLicense.SetLicense(licensePath);

                // Apply license to Aspose.Slides
                var slidesLicense = new Aspose.Slides.License();
                slidesLicense.SetLicense(licensePath);

                // Apply license to Aspose.BarCode
                var barcodeLicense = new Aspose.BarCode.License();
                barcodeLicense.SetLicense(licensePath);

                Console.WriteLine("Aspose.Total license applied to all products successfully.");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Failed to apply Aspose license: " + ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
}

Moreover, see the documents on how to set license for different .NET APIs for your reference.

I’m facing an issue after upgrading to a newer version of Aspose.Total.

  • We’re using a valid Aspose.Total.lic file provided by your team.
  • It worked perfectly with the previous version.
  • After the upgrade, I now get the following error:
    “Error initializing VPS with Aspose licenses: Aspose.Total.lic”

code for initialization

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace email2.Utils.Documents
{
	public static class Initialization
	{
		public static void Init()
		{
			var lic = "Aspose.Total.lic";
			try
			{
				
				var pdfLicense = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
				pdfLicense.SetLicense(lic);

				var wordsLicense = new Aspose.Words.License();
				wordsLicense.SetLicense(lic);

				var cellsLicense = new Aspose.Cells.License();
				cellsLicense.SetLicense(lic);

				var slidesLicense = new Aspose.Slides.License();
				slidesLicense.SetLicense(lic);

				var barCodesLicense = new Aspose.BarCode.License();
				barCodesLicense.SetLicense(lic);
			}
			catch (Exception ex)
			{
				CLog.Log("Error initializing VPS with Aspose licenses:" + lic);
				CLog.Log(ex);
				throw;
			}
		}
	}
}
  • We confirmed the license file:
  • Is unmodified
  • Exists at runtime
  • Was not edited (we restored the original)
  • Is passed correctly to SetLicense()

Could you please confirm if this license is still valid for the newer version?

Order ID:250703065753
License File Date: july 3,2025
Current Aspose Version: latest version(25)

Please advise whether we need a new license file or if something else might be affecting this. and FYI we are using .net framework

Thanks,
Bhavya

@Nara_Bhavya,

Could you please provide us your new license file. Please do not directly attach the license file here in the forums. Regarding how to send a license, please refer to the following document.
https://forum.aspose.com/t/how-to-send-license-file-to-support-team/225542

Once we receive the license, we will start investigating the issue. By the way, which specific Aspose (.NET) API causes the issue or all APIs you are using are causing the issue?

Thanks for the response,
Yes I have shared the fail and
At this point, none of the Aspose APIs are working with our Aspose.Total.lic file after upgrading. We’re using multiple products:

  • Aspose.Words
  • Aspose.PDF
  • Aspose.Cells
  • Aspose.Slides
  • Aspose.BarCode

We call .SetLicense("Aspose.Total.lic") for each one (in a try-catch), but as soon as the first license call runs, it throws the error “Error initializing VPS with Aspose licenses: Aspose.Total.lic”

@Nara_Bhavya,

Thank you for sharing your license via private message. Upon reviewing your license, I noticed that your license is specifically for the Aspose.Words Product Family APIs. This means you can use it exclusively with the Aspose.Words Product Family APIs and not with other APIs such as:

  • Aspose.PDF
  • Aspose.Cells
  • Aspose.Slides
  • Aspose.BarCode

If you wish to work with the APIs mentioned above, you would need either their individual licenses or an Aspose.Total for .NET license.

I hope this clarifies everything. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Bhavya
