Using IronXL for Python License Keys

How to Get a License Key

Adding an IronXL license key allows you to deploy your project live without restrictions or watermarks.

You can buy a license here or sign up for a free 30 day trial key here.

Step 1: Add IronXL as a Dependency in Your Python Project

To integrate the IronXL library into your Python project, you must install it as a dependency using the widely used Python package management tool, pip. Open the terminal and execute the following command:

 pip install IronXL

This will install the specified version of IronXL in your project, making it accessible for import.

Please note
IronXL for Python relies on IronXL .NET library, specifically .NET 6.0, as its underlying technology. Therefore, it is necessary to have the .NET 6.0 SDK installed on your machine in order to use IronXL for Python.

Step 2: Apply Your License Key

Next, you need to apply your license key or trial key by setting the LicenseKey attribute at the beginning of your Python script, before utilizing IronXL.

# Apply your license key
License.LicenseKey = "IRONXL-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01"
PYTHON

Step 3: Validate Your License Key

Verify the Installed License Key

To verify whether the license key has been applied correctly, you can check the IsLicensed attribute of the License module. Use the following code snippet:

# Check if the license key has been applied
is_licensed = License.IsLicensed
PYTHON

Validate the License Key

To ensure the validity of your license or trial key, you can use the following code snippet:

# Check if a given license key string is valid
is_valid = License.IsValidLicense("IRONXL-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01")
PYTHON

If the return value is True, it means the key is valid, and you can proceed with using IronXL. However, if the return value is False, it indicates that the key is invalid

Please note
After adding a license, it is essential to clean and republish your application to ensure a smooth deployment process and avoid any potential mistakes.
