We are encountering an issue while using the Aspose.Cells library in our application. The following exception is being thrown during execution:

It appears that the evaluation version of Aspose.Cells is enforcing a limitation on the number of files or operations. We would like to understand:

  1. **Could you please clarify the specific limitations imposed by the evaluation version of Aspose.Cells in the .NET Framework, and confirm whether these limitations are lifted with a procured license? **

Please let us know if you require any additional information such as code snippets, license details, or environment configuration.

Looking forward to your support.

Best regards,

@v.nayakanti,

Thanks for sharing details.

Yes, this is evaluation version (using Aspose.Cells without a valid license) limitation. Please see the document on evaluation versions limits for your complete reference.

Kindly note that once you apply a valid license and configure it in your code (as explained in the document on licensing), ensuring this is done at the start of your application and before utilizing any other APIs from the library, you will be able to use the product seamlessly and professionally, with its full capabilities and without any restrictions.

Hello team,

Even after updating the license, we are getting below error

@v.nayakanti,

It appears that the licensing code responsible for loading and setting a valid license is not being added or processed initially in your application. Could you please confirm whether your app uses threads, please elaborate? Moreover, it is also possible that the licensing setup code might not be placed at the application level where it should be.

To help us understand and resolve the issue, could you please create a simple “Hello World” type application in VS.NET? In this app, please ensure you instantiate the license and set it (referring to your license file) at the start of your program. Then, create a new workbook, insert the text “Hello World” into a worksheet cell, and save the Excel file.

If the issue still persists in the new app, we would appreciate it if you could zip and share the project with us (excluding your license file and Aspose.Cells.dll to minimize the archive size). We will look into it soon and assist you further.
