Licensing
Aspose.OCR for Python via .NET is a commercially licensed product that can be used in trial (evaluation) mode.
Free trial
You can start using Aspose.OCR for Python via .NET right after the installation. In trial mode (without providing a license) you can recognize texts in any supported languages and save recognition results in any of the supported formats.
However, the following restrictions apply:
- If the number of characters in a recognized image exceeds 300, only the first 300 characters are recognized.
- If the number of characters in a recognized image is less than 300, the first 60% of characters are recognized.
Apply a license to remove the restriction.
Getting a temporary license
A temporary license removes a limitation of the trial version for 30 days. Use it to start building a fully functional OCR application and make the final decision to purchase Aspose.OCR for Python via .NET later.
To request a temporary license, visit “Get a Temporary License” page.
Purchasing a license
Aspose.OCR for Python via .NET is licensed either by the number of developers and locations (sites) where the products will be used (Developer and Site licenses).
Read License Types for details and purchase a license that best suits your needs.
Applying a developer or site license
After purchasing a license or obtaining a temporary license, you will receive a file with .lic extension. If needed, you can rename this file and change its extension.
The license must be applied once per application or process lifecycle before recognition starts.
# Instantiate the licensing engine
license = ocr.License()
# Load the license from file
license.set_license("Aspose-OCR-Python-via-NET.lic")
If only the name of the license file (without path) is specified, set_license method will look for the license file in the application’s working directory.
Alternatively, you can store the license file in any directory on your computer and specify an absolute path in set_license method.
Licensing multiple Aspose products
Even if you have a single license for all Aspose products, you still need to apply the license separately to each Aspose module you are using in your application.
