You can easily download an evaluation version of Aspose.ASPXpand from the download page. The evaluation version provides absolutely the same capabilities as the licensed version of the component. Furthermore, evaluation version simply becomes licensed when you add a couple of lines of code to apply the license.

Evaluation Version Limitations

Evaluation version of Aspose.ASPXpand (without a license specified) provides full product functionality, but it injects an evaluation watermark at the top of the web page.

The watermark inserted by the evaluation version are shown in the drawing below:

Note: If you want to test Aspose.ASPXpand without evaluation version limitations, you can also request a 30 Day Temporary License. Please refer to How to get a Temporary License?

Setting a License

The license is a plain text XML file that contains details such as the product name, number of developers it is licensed to, subscription expiry date and so on. The file is digitally signed, so don’t modify the file. Even inadvertent adding of an extra line break into the file will invalidate it.

You need to set a license before using it on the page. It is only required to set a license once per application (or process).

The easiest way to set a license is to put the license file in the same folder as the .aspx file which is a page using an Aspose.ASPXpand component and specify the file name as shown in the following example:

[C#]

        Aspose.ASPXpand.License lic = new License() ;

        lic.SetLicense(Server.MapPath(@".\Aspose.ASPXpand.Pro.xml") ) ;

[VB.net]

        Dim  lic = new Aspose.ASPXpand.License()

        lic.SetLicense(Server.MapPath(".\Aspose.ASPXpand.Pro.xml") ) ;
