FAQ

1. Q: How do I apply a license for Aspose.Words for Java?
   A: Place the license file (e.g., Aspose.Words.Java.lic) in a location accessible to your application and load it at startup:

   com.aspose.words.License license = new com.aspose.words.License();
   license.setLicense("path/to/Aspose.Words.Java.lic");
   

   Loading the license disables evaluation limitations for the entire JVM process.

   A: Set the desired version number in the <version> element of the dependency. For example, <version>22.11</version> uses version 22.11. You can browse available versions on the Aspose Maven repository page.

4. Q: What Java versions are supported by the Aspose.Words for Java library?
   A: The library provides classifiers for different JDKs (e.g., jdk8, jdk11, jdk17). Choose the classifier that matches the JDK you compile and run against. The jdk17 classifier is recommended for Java 17 and later.
