Common questions and concerns

Find answers to common inquiries in our FAQ section to quickly address your queries and concerns.

  • Can I evaluate GroupDocs products prior to purchasing?
    Yes! All GroupDocs products have a risk-free, evaluation version available. We strongly encourage developers to download and try our APIs before purchasing to ensure that they will fill your needs 100%.
  • Does GroupDocs do product demonstrations?
    No, our focus is on our APIs and making the most functional and stable products possible. We do offer fully functional and free trials in the form of a temporary license so you can test out the product for yourself.
  • Where can I download the product?
    All products are available to download from the website. We do not send physical copies of our software by mail.
  • Are GroupDocs developer licenses per user, or per named user?
    GroupDocs Developer licenses are per user, not per named user. We understand that members of a coding team may change over time and that it is not practical to have to update licensing each time that occurs.
  • Do we need licensing for only active developers? For example, we have a team of two developers working on shift A and a second team of two developers working on shift B … in this situation, do we need two or four licenses?
    All developers who are working on the project need to be licensed. In this situation, GroupDocs sees your team as having four members (even though they work at different times).
