Licensing Select.Pdf Library

Acquiring a license

SelectPdf Library for .NET is provided as a free trial product that can be tested without any limitations for 30 days.

The free trial is fully functional, but without a license key, an watermark will be displayed in each page of the pdf documents generated with the library. A license key is need to unlock the product and remove the demo watermark.

The same license key works with all SelectPdf targets (.NET Standard 2.0, .NET 8.0, .NET 10.0 - usable from .NET Framework 4.6.1+, .NET Core 2.0+ and .NET 5 through .NET 10).

A license key can be purchased from the product website: https://selectpdf.com.

Take a look at the End User License Agreement for licensing details.

Applying the license key

Once the license is purchased, a license key is delivered by email.

If you previously used the Community Edition for tests, switch the package reference to the full SelectPdf commercial library (SelectPdf.Universal). Because both editions use the same SelectPdf namespace, no code change is required.

If you used the free trial of the commercial library for tests, there is no need to download another version of the product, as the free trial is a full version. To unlock the product, the license key needs to be set in code, using the LicenseKey property of the GlobalProperties class:

Copy
// sample license key setting
SelectPdf.Universal.GlobalProperties.LicenseKey = "your-license-key";

Do not forget to replace your-license-key with the actual license key received by email when the order is processed.

Important note  Important

If the LicenseKey property cannot be found in GlobalProperties class, make sure that you use the full SelectPdf Commercial Library (the SelectPdf.Universal package, SelectPdf.Universal.dll) and not SelectPdf Html To Pdf Converter Community Edition (the SelectPdf.HtmlToPdf.Universal package, SelectPdf.HtmlToPdf.Universal.dll).
