@jai_intellisims_com,

Unlike the Temporary License, regular License is not free; please refer to Aspose.Words for .NET Pricing Information page.

Yes, the problem occurs because your license has expired. Please contact our sales team to get an updated license file. Then the updated license file will allow you to use the latest version of Aspose.Words. And yes, you need to replace Temporary License with the updated license. For any more details, please refer to Aspose.Words Licensing page.
