Using Aspose.Words v10.7.0.0 with a word 2016 document

Hi.

I’m using Aspose.Words version 10.7.0.0. Yes, very old version and we haven’t renewed our license unfortunatly. And as I understand it we cannot get a later version because our license has expired, but we can use the older versions?

Anyhow. We use Aspose.Words for different actions in our .net application. And we just changed a template (.dotm, created in Word 2010) to a newer template (.dotx, created in Word 2016). And we’re getting an error saying that the “file is corrupt”. I cannot se anything wrong with the new template, so I’m wondering if the version of Aspose has something to do with it?

This is where I get the exception:
AsposeHelper.SetLicence();
Document doc = new Document(documentTemplateStream); // Here the exception says “corrupt file”
documentTemplateStream.Close();

Thanks in advance.
