Evaluation Limitations and Licensing Leave feedback

Note

You can use GroupDocs.Assembly without a license. The functionality is the same as in the licensed version, but the evaluation version has the limitations listed below.

The evaluation package is the same as the purchased one. It becomes licensed when you apply a license in your code. Without a license, GroupDocs.Assembly has the following limitations:

To test GroupDocs.Assembly without these limitations, request a free 30-day temporary license. To buy a license, see the pricing page.

The license file contains details such as the product name, the number of developers it is licensed to and the subscription expiry date. It is digitally signed, so do not modify it: even an extra line break invalidates it.

Set the license:

• Once per process, when the application starts. Calling setLicense again is not harmful, but wastes time.
• Before you use any other GroupDocs.Assembly classes.

'use strict';

const groupdocs = require('@groupdocs/groupdocs.assembly');

const license = new groupdocs.License();
license.setLicense("GroupDocs.Assembly.lic");

console.log("License set successfully.");

Use the readDataFromStream helper to convert a Node.js readable stream into a Java input stream:

'use strict';

const fs = require('fs');
const groupdocs = require('@groupdocs/groupdocs.assembly');

const licenseStream = fs.createReadStream("GroupDocs.Assembly.lic");

groupdocs.readDataFromStream(licenseStream, (inputStream) => {
    const license = new groupdocs.License();
    license.setLicense(inputStream);

    console.log("License set successfully.");
});

Note

A metered license is an alternative to a license file. You are billed based on your usage of the API. Metered licensing requires an Internet connection. For more details, see the Metered Licensing FAQ.

To use a metered license:

1. Create an instance of the Metered class.
2. Pass your public and private keys to the setMeteredKey method.
3. Process documents.
4. Call the static Metered.getConsumptionQuantity method to get the number of API requests consumed so far.
5. Call the static Metered.getConsumptionCredit method to get the credits consumed so far.

'use strict';

const groupdocs = require('@groupdocs/groupdocs.assembly');

const publicKey = "*****";  // Your public key
const privateKey = "*****"; // Your private key

const metered = new groupdocs.Metered();
metered.setMeteredKey(publicKey, privateKey);

// ... assemble documents ...

console.log("Consumption quantity:", groupdocs.Metered.getConsumptionQuantity());
console.log("Consumption credit:", groupdocs.Metered.getConsumptionCredit());
