Metered Licensing

Metered licensing is a new licensing mechanism that can be used alongside existing licensing methods. If you want to be billed based on your usage of Aspose.Slides API features, you choose metered licensing.

When you purchase a metered license, you get keys (and not a license file). This metered key can be applied using the Metered class Aspose provided for metering operations. For more details, see Metered Licensing FAQ.

1. Create an instance of the Metered class.

2. Pass your public and private keys to the setMeteredKey method.

3. Do some processing (perform tasks).

4. Call the getConsumptionQuantity method of the Metered class.

   You should see the amount/quantity of API requests you have consumed so far.

This PHP code shows you how to set metered public and private keys:

  $metered = new Metered();
  try {
    // Accesses the setMeteredKey property and pass public and private keys as parameters
    $metered->setMeteredKey("<valid pablic key>", "<valid private key>");
    // Gets the consumed qantity value before accessing API
    $quantityOld = Metered->getConsumptionQuantity();
    echo("Consumption quantity" . $quantityOld);
    // Gets the consumed qantity value after accessing API
    $quantity = Metered->getConsumptionQuantity();
    echo("Consumption quantity" . $quantity);
  } catch (JavaException $ex) {
    $ex->printStackTrace();
  }

NOTE

To use metered licensing, you need a stable internet connection because the licensing mechanism uses the internet to constantly interact with our services and perform calculations.
