Can I upgrade for free?

If you purchased a license for Aspose.Metafiles, it means you have a 1-year subscription for free upgrades to any new Aspose.Metafiles version that comes out. Any Aspose.Metafiles version released before the subscription expiry date - you can just download and use it.

If you want to check when your subscription expires, open the license file in Notepad (but take care not to modify and save the license file or it will no longer work) and see the SubscriptionExpiry field.

I have a problem with Aspose.Metafiles for Java, what should I do?

In order to help us solve your issues quicker, please follow these simple rules:

  1. Make sure you use the latest Aspose.Metafiles before reporting the issue, see Aspose.Metafiles Blog to find out about latest version.
  2. Browse through this FAQ, the Support Forum and the Aspose.Metafiles Documentation before reporting the issue. Maybe your question was already answered.
  3. If it still does not help, attach the original document (before processed by Aspose.Metafiles) and a fragment of your code that causes the problem. If you need to attach multiple files, zip them.

How to remove the "Evaluation Only. Created with Aspose.Metafiles. Copyright 2003-2007 Aspose Pty Ltd." message?

This is an evaluation message inserted automatically when using Aspose.Metafiles in evaluation mode (e.g. without a license). To remove the message, you need to buy a license and apply it programmatically before instantiating the Document object. You can also request a free 30-days temporary license to evaluate Aspose.Metafiles without the message.

How to apply a license?

  1. You can put your license file at any location and then create a stream that references the license file.
  2. You can pass the stream (containing the license file) into setLicense method. The License class will automatically find the license file through the stream.
[Java]

FileInputStream fstream=new FileInputStream("Aspose.Metafiles.lic");
License license=new License();
license.setLicense(fstream);


For more information about licensing see Aspose.Metafiles Documentation, Getting Started, Licensing section.

I applied a license like shown above, but the evaluation message is still there. What am i missing?

  • Make sure your call to SetLicense gets executed. Step through in the debugger.
  • Make sure your code does not catch and silence an exception thrown by Aspose.Metafiles licensing code. For example, Aspose.Metafiles will throw if it cannot find the license.
  • Make sure the input documents do not already have the evaluation message. Aspose.Metafiles does not delete existing evaluation messages.
  • Make sure setLicense is executed before you instantiate any Document object.
