Licensing and Subscription
Sometimes, exploring the product in detail requires diving into the code as quickly as possible. To facilitate this, Aspose.HTML for Java offers various purchase plans, a Free Trial, and a 30-day Temporary License for evaluation purposes.
It’s important to note that several general policies and practices are in place to guide you through evaluating, licensing, and purchasing Aspose products. For detailed information, refer to the Purchase Policies and FAQ section, which outlines these processes comprehensively.
Evaluation Version Limitations
The evaluation version or trial version is the same as the purchased one – it becomes licensed when you add a few lines of code to apply the license.
We want our customers to test our products thoroughly before buying so the evaluation version allows you to use it as you would normally.
HTML created with an evaluation watermark
The evaluation version of Aspose.HTML for Java provides full product functionality, but all the pages in the generated HTML file are watermarked with “Aspose.HTML Evaluation Only. Created with Aspose.HTML. Copyright 2002-2024 Aspose Pty Ltd.” at the top.
Limit of the Number of Collection Items that can be Processed
The evaluation version (without a license initialization) provides full product functionality, but it has two limitations: it inserts an evaluation watermark, and only four elements of any collection can be manipulated/converted. Please note that currently our API provides following two features:
- Working with document features
- Conversion Features
For “conversion features”, we insert an evaluation watermark and convert only first four pages.
For “Working with Document” Features, we limit the saving operation by adding watermark into every image on the page and insert “Evaluation Text” on the document. It’s only way to limit “working with a document” features. However currently we are not limiting any collections, because it affects the JS Scripts and rendering features.
Temporary License
If you want to test Aspose.HTML for Java without the limitations of the evaluation version, you can also request a 30-day Temporary license. For more information, see the Get a Temporary License page.
Apply License using File or Stream Object
After purchase, you need to apply the license file or include the license file as an embedded resource. This section describes options for how this can be done. The license can be loaded from a file or stream object. The easiest way to set a license is to put the license file in the same folder as the aspose-html-xx.x.jar file and specify the filename, without a path, as shown in the example below.
If you use are using any other Aspose for Java component along with Aspose.HTML for Java, please specify complete namespace for License like com.aspose.html.License.
Loading a License from File
The easiest way to apply a license is to put the license file in the same folder as the Aspose.HTML.jar file and specify just the filename without a path.
When you call the setLicense method, the license name that you pass should be that of your license file. For example, if you change the license file name to “Aspose.HTML.lic.xml” pass that filename to the com.aspose.html.License.setLicense(…) method. The license file can be specific for Aspose.HTML for Java or you can use Aspose.Total for Java license file.
1// instantiate License object
2com.aspose.html.License license = new com.aspose.html.License();
3// license file path information
4license.setLicense("Aspose.HTML.lic");Loading a License from a Stream Object
The following example shows how to load a license from a stream.
1// Initialize License Instance
2com.aspose.html.License license = new com.aspose.html.License();
3// Set license from Stream
4license.setLicense(new java.io.FileInputStream("Aspose.HTML.lic"));
