Licensed

GcWord production license is issued at the time of purchase of the product. If you have a production license, you can access all the features of GcWord without any limitations.

Apply License

To apply evaluation/production license in GcWord, the long string key needs to be copied to code in one of the following two ways.

• Pass it as an argument to the GcWordDocument's ctor:

  var doc = new GcWordDocument("key")

  This licenses the instance being created.

• Call a static method on GcWordDocument:

  GcWordDocument.SetLicenseKey("key");

  This licenses all the instances while the program is running.
