Licensing and Subscription

Wordize offers flexible licensing options for its products to suit different development needs. Whether you are evaluating the product, testing its capabilities, or purchasing a full license, we provide clear and suitable options.

Below are the available licensing types and details on how they work.

License and Subscription – How It Works

Wordize provides the following mechanism for access and updates:

1. License – is perpetual. By purchasing a license, the user gets a subscription for updates for a selected period. After the subscription expires, the user can work with the latest Wordize version released during the subscription without any restrictions. To access newer Wordize versions, the user needs to buy a new license, which includes a new subscription.
2. Subscription – lasts for 1, 2, 3 or 4 years. During this time, the user can receive free Wordize updates.

This system ensures you always have full access to the Wordize features you paid for while keeping updates optional.

License Types

Free Trial License (30 Days)

The Free Trial License provides full access to all features of the selected Wordize product for 30 days. This allows developers to test the software with no restrictions before making a purchase.

Key features and limitations:

1. Functionality without limitations.
2. Automatically expires after 30 days.
3. No renewal or extension available.

Commercial License (1, 2, 3, or 4 Years)

This License provides full functionality for the selected Wordize product with different subscription options. Each license is valid for a single Wordize product and must be purchased separately.

Key features and limitations:

1. Subscription available for 1, 2, 3, or 4 years.
2. Full access to updates during the subscription period.
3. The ability to use your Wordize version released during the subscription even after the subscription expires.
4. No renewals after expiration – you must purchase a new license file to get a new subscription.
5. A separate license for each Wordize product used.

Suite License (Bundle Discount)

For developers who need multiple Wordize products, the Suite License offers a bundled package with a discount. This includes licenses for all Wordize products at a reduced cost.

Key features and limitations:

1. One purchase grants access to all Wordize products.
2. Includes the same duration options as individual licenses (1, 2, 3, or 4 years).
3. Available at a discounted rate compared to purchasing each license separately.

Evaluation Access

The Evaluation Access is an alternative for developers who need to explore Wordize products without a time limit but with certain restrictions. The Evaluation Access simply becomes licensed when you add a few lines of code to apply for the license.

Key features and limitations:

1. No expiration date.
2. Limited by the number of paragraphs of the input document.
3. Applies a watermark to the output documents.
4. Suitable for non-commercial use and testing purposes.

How to Apply for a Product License

To activate your purchased Wordize product, follow one of the options below.

1. Use a license file:

• Obtain the license file (.lic) after purchase.
• Load and apply for the license in your application:

Wordize.Settings.SetLicense("Wordize.Net.lic");

2. Use a stream:

• Load the license from a stream:

Wordize.Settings.SetLicense(MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes("Wordize.Net.lic")));

3. Use an embedded resource:

• Add the license file as an embedded resource into your project.
• In your code, invoke SetLicense, which passes only the short name of the resource file.

Each product requires its own license. Ensure all required licenses are applied before usage.

Using Licenses for Multiple Wordize Products

Each Wordize product has its own separate license and expiration date.

When purchasing multiple products, the following should be considered:

1. Each product requires an individual license, which means licenses may have different expiration dates.
2. You can activate multiple licenses at the same time, allowing you to use different Wordize products simultaneously.
3. If using multiple products together, ensure that all required licenses remain active to avoid disruptions when working on complex tasks.

The following code example shows how to activate multiple licenses from files – for example, for the Wordize Core for .NET and Wordize Web for .NET modules:

Wordize.Settings.SetLicense("Wordize.Net.lic");
Wordize.Settings.SetLicense("Wordize.Web.Net.lic");
