Metered Licensing

Aspose.CAD allows developers to apply metered key. It is a new licensing mechanism. The new licensing mechanism will be used along with existing licensing method. Those customers who want to be billed based on the usage of the API features can use the metered licensing. For more details, please refer to Metered Licensing FAQ section.

Metered Licensing

Here are the simple steps to use the Metered class.

1. Create an instance of Metered class.
2. Pass public & private keys to SetMeteredKey method.
3. Do processing (perform task).
4. call method GetConsumptionQuantity of the Metered class.
5. It will return the amount/quantity of API requests that you have consumed so far.

Following is the sample code demonstrating how to set metered public and private key.

            // Access the setMeteredKey property and pass public and private keys as parameters
            Aspose.CAD.Metered.SetMeteredKey("PublicKey", "PrivateKey");


            // Get metered data amount before calling API
            decimal amountbefore = Aspose.CAD.Metered.GetConsumptionQuantity();

            // Display information
            Console.WriteLine("Amount Consumed Before: " + amountbefore.ToString());
            
            
            // Do processing
            //Aspose.CAD.FileFormats.Cad.CadImage image = (Aspose.CAD.FileFormats.Cad.CadImage)Aspose.CAD.Image.load("BlockRefDgn.dwg");

            
            // Get metered data amount After calling API
            decimal amountafter = Aspose.CAD.Metered.GetConsumptionQuantity();

            // Display information
            Console.WriteLine("Amount Consumed After: " + amountafter.ToString());
