Setting GroupDocs license in Java

GroupDocs.Viewer Product Family
1

I’m trying to set up license in Java code. Can someone please help me figure out why it is not working?

I have this code which is supposed to set the license.

InputStream is = openStream("license.lic");
License license = new License();
license.setLicense(is);

I do not get any exception running the above code. After setting the license, I proceed to create the Viewer and feed it with a source PDF file:

HtmlViewOptions viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources(pageFilePathFormat);
Viewer viewer = new Viewer("/home/lab/groupdocs/org/test.pdf");
viewer.view(viewOptions);

Still getting no error. I can see that this generates output files in the destination directory, but they all have an copyright note that says “Evaluation Only. Created with Aspose.PDF”.

I also noticed that if I simply remove the code which was supposed to set the license, I still get the same outcome. Does that indicate that the license was not properly validated? Perhaps, am I supposed to pass the License object to ViewerOptions or Viewer ?

More importantly, is there a way to tell whether the issue was with the license itself or with the code not setting the license up correctly?

Please share following details and we’ll look into this scenario:

  • API version that you’ve integrated in the project (e.g. 19.11, 20.1)
  • License subscription expiry date (or you can share your license file in a private message)

Your code seems fine.

API version 20.1.

Looking at the license file, it seems that both SubscriptionExpiry and LicenseExpiry dates have been reached. So I guess that must be it.

Thank you for your help, @atirtahir3 !

Yes, that’s the issue.
