Free Spire.PDF for .NET

[rambach]

So I have two different scenarios. I have an internal company website I would like to use the Free Spire.PDF for .NET to fill-in some PDF form fields. From what I read, your license model allows this for commercial use up to a 10 page PDF.
There is no time limits or warning messages applied to the PDF output, correct?

Also, I have a usage that will require a license to be purchased since the PDF's will be much larger in size and packaged with other software for deployment. Most likely the Site Enterprise or OEM license will be needed for this.

My question is, is how I intend to use Spire.PDF in these two scenarios acceptable? I can't find a link to the actual license type used for the software. Is this available? I need to know all the limitations and fine print.
I want to proceed with this approach since the use of the free version will provide the familiarity with the software I need and also provide the "dog and pony" to show management we need to use it in other applications.

Thanks Betsy for the reply.

Do you have the license distribution model text I can review? I need this for our sourcing department to review before we can even consider using Sprire.PDF. Thanks for your help.

Is there any text associated with the free version as well?

Dear rambach,

Thanks for your message and sorry for late response due to the weekend.

Free version doesn't require license, but it has some limitations: it is limited to 10 pages of PDF file. When converting PDF to other file formats, only the first 3 pages of the PDF file will be converted successfully. Also note that some bug solutions and features are available in the commercial version but may not in the free version, since we only maintain the free version when we've enough time.

Any further questions please feel free to let us know.
