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.Parser provides different purchase plans or offers a Free Trial and a 30-day Temporary License for evaluation.

Note

Note that there are several 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.Parser 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 several ways that are described in the next sections of this article.

The evaluation version comes with the following limitations:

• Only 100 files per session
• Only 5 pages (slides, sheets) of a document can be processed
• Text extraction: Only 20 lines per file, only the first 1600 symbols, only the first 5 pages + evaluation marks
• Metadata extraction: Only 5 properties per file

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

Note

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

After getting the license, you need to set it. This section describes different ways to set the license.

The license should be set:

• Only once per application domain.
• Before using any other GroupDocs.Parser classes.

Note

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

The following code snippet shows how to set a license from a file:

from groupdocs.parser import License

def set_license_from_file():
    # Create an instance of License class
    license = License()
    
    # Set the license from file path
    license.set_license("path/to/GroupDocs.Parser.lic")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    set_license_from_file()

The following code snippet shows how to set a license from a stream:

from groupdocs.parser import License

def set_license_from_stream():
    # Open the license file
    with open("path/to/GroupDocs.Parser.lic", "rb") as stream:
        # Create an instance of License class
        license = License()
        
        # Set the license from stream
        license.set_license(stream)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    set_license_from_stream()

A Metered License is also available as an alternative to a traditional license file. It is a usage-based licensing model that may be more suitable for customers who prefer to be billed based on actual API feature usage. For more information, refer to the Metered Licensing FAQ.

The following sample demonstrates how to use metered licensing:

from groupdocs.parser import Metered

def set_metered_license():
    # Set your public and private keys
    public_key = "******"
    private_key = "******"
    
    # Instantiate Metered and set keys
    metered = Metered()
    metered.set_metered_key(public_key, private_key)
    
    # Get amount (MB) consumed
    consumption_quantity = Metered.get_consumption_quantity()
    print(f"Amount (MB) consumed: {consumption_quantity}")
    
    # Get count of credits consumed
    consumption_credit = Metered.get_consumption_credit()
    print(f"Credits consumed: {consumption_credit}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    set_metered_license()

Warning

Important: For a full-featured evaluation without limitations, request a temporary license which allows you to test all features for 30 days.
