.NET and Java API Licensing

Different companies have different needs. To accommodate companies large and small, we offer a variety of license types.

GroupDocs .NET and Java licenses are either based on the number of developers and the number of locations (buildings) where the products will be used (Developer and Site licenses), whether you need to deploy SDK/API capabilities to your customers (Developer SDK and Site SDK licenses) or by your usage of the product calculated monthly (Metered licenses).
