We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.CAD for .NET 16.12.1. The major development in this release is support for metered license mechanism. The new licensing mechanism will be used along with existing licensing method. Those customers who want to be billed based on the usage of the API features can use the metered licensing.

Metered Licensing

Aspose.CAD for .Net provides the functionality to use metered licensing mechanism. We have introduced Metered class in API to accomplish this job. The following sample code will demonstrate, how to calculate the consumed CAD API requests.

 // Create an instance of CAD Metered class
Aspose.CAD.Metered metered = new Aspose.CAD.Metered();

// Access the setMeteredKey property and pass public and private keys as parameters
metered.SetMeteredKey("***", "***");

// Get metered data amount before calling API
decimal amountbefore = Aspose.CAD.Metered.GetConsumptionQuantity();

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


// Do processing
//Aspose.CAD.FileFormats.Cad.CadImage image = (Aspose.CAD.FileFormats.Cad.CadImage)Aspose.CAD.Image.load("BlockRefDgn.dwg");


// Get metered data amount After calling API
decimal amountafter = Aspose.CAD.Metered.GetConsumptionQuantity();

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