Metered Licensing

Metered licensing is a new licensing mechanism that can be used alongside existing licensing methods. If you want to be billed based on your usage of Aspose.Slides API features, you choose metered licensing.

When you purchase a metered license, you get keys (and not a license file). This metered key can be applied using the Metered class Aspose provided for metering operations. For more details, see Metered Licensing FAQ.

1. Create an instance of the Metered class.

2. Pass your public and private keys to the SetMeteredKey method.

3. Do some processing (perform tasks).

4. Call the GetConsumptionQuantity method of the Metered class.

   You should see the amount/quantity of API requests you have consumed so far.

This C# code shows you how to set metered public and private keys:

//  Creates an instance of the Metered class
	Aspose.Slides.Metered metered = new Aspose.Slides.Metered();

//  Accesses the SetMeteredKey property and passes the public and private keys as parameters
	metered.SetMeteredKey("*****", "*****");

//  Gets the metered data quantity before API call
	decimal amountbefore = Aspose.Slides.Metered.GetConsumptionQuantity();

//  Displays the information
	Console.WriteLine("Amount Consumed Before: " + amountbefore.ToString());

//  Gets the metered data amount after API call
	decimal amountafter = Aspose.Slides.Metered.GetConsumptionQuantity();

//  Displays the information
	Console.WriteLine("Amount Consumed After: " + amountafter.ToString());

NOTE

To use metered licensing, you need a stable internet connection because the licensing mechanism uses the internet to constantly interact with our services and perform calculations.
