SetMeteredKey on Aspose PDF does not work with version 23.8.0

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi
We use the metered license for all aspose products. Now I want to upgrade the libraries from 23.4.0 to 23.8.0.

This works:
var meteredWords = new Aspose.Words.Metered();
meteredWords.SetMeteredKey(PublicKey, PrivateKey);

But this does not work:
var meteredPdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Metered();
meteredPdf.SetMeteredKey(PublicKey, PrivateKey);

Error is: Authentication failed.
And the stacktrace is:

Hi!

After upgrading like in the original issue (from 23.4.0), Metered license works only with version 23.11.1.
If upgrading to 23.12.0 (currently latest), we face a similar/same issue, as the original with version 23.8.0: Authentication Failed

The new error is:

Message:
System.InvalidOperationException : Authentication failed.
