Evaluate Aspose.Cells

What to Expect from the Evaluation Version

The evaluation build works fully, but it adds an extra worksheet that contains an evaluation watermark. This worksheet is automatically inserted each time a spreadsheet is opened or saved.

Example – Watermark Worksheet

Note: The extra sheet is named “Evaluation Warning” and contains the text “This workbook was created with an evaluation version of Aspose.Cells.” It does not affect the data or formulas in your original worksheets.

Removing the Watermark – Use a Temporary License

If you need to test the component without the evaluation limitation, request a 30‑day temporary license:

Once the license is applied, the extra “Evaluation Warning” worksheet will no longer be generated.

Quick Checklist for Evaluation

  • Download the evaluation package from the official site.
  • Install the package into your Reporting Services project.
  • Run a test report and verify that the watermark worksheet appears.
  • Request a temporary license if you need a clean workbook for further testing.
  • Apply the license file and re‑run the report to confirm the watermark is gone.
