Licensing Leave feedback

Sometimes, to study the system better, you want to dive into the code as fast as possible. To make this easier, GroupDocs.Conversion offers a Free Trial and a 30-day Temporary License for evaluation and provides different purchase plans.

Note

Note that there are a number of general policies and practices that guide you on how to evaluate, properly license, and purchase our products. You can find them in the “Purchase Policies and FAQ” section.

You can try GroupDocs.Conversion without buying a license.

The evaluation version is the same as the purchased one – the evaluation version simply becomes licensed when you set the license. You can set the license in a number of ways that are described in the next sections of this article.

The evaluation version comes with the limitations:

• Only the first 3 pages are processed.
• Documents with more than 3 pages are not supported.
• Trial badges are placed in the document on the top of each page.

If you wish to test GroupDocs.Conversion without the limitations of the trial version, you can also request a 30-day Temporary License. For more details, see the “Get a Temporary License” page.

Note

You can find pricing information on the “Pricing Information” page.

After the license is obtained you need to set up the license. This section describes options of how this can be done and also comments on some common questions.

The license should be set:

• Only once per application domain,
• and before using any other GroupDocs.Conversion classes.

Note

The license can be set multiple times per app domain but we recommend doing it once since all calls to the SetLicense method except for the first one will just waste processor time.

The following code sets a license from a file.

const licensePath = "path to the .lic file";
const license = new groupdocs.conversion.License()
await license.setLicense(licensePath); 

The following example shows how to load a license from a stream.

const fs = require('fs')  

const licensePath = "path to the .lic file"
try {
  const licenseStream = fs.createReadStream(licensePath)
  const stream = await groupdocs.conversion.readDataFromStream(licenseStream)

  const license = new groupdocs.conversion.License()
  await license.setLicense(stream);
  console.log('License set successfully.');
} catch {
  console.log("\nWe do not ship any license with this example. " +
