## License::SetLicense(const System::String\&) method


Licenses the component.

```cpp
void Aspose::Words::License::SetLicense(const System::String &licenseName)
```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| licenseName | const System::String\& | Can be a full or short file name. Use an empty string to switch to evaluation mode. |
## Remarks


Tries to find the license in the following locations:

1. Explicit path.
1. The folder that contains the Aspose.Words library.
1. The folder that contains the client's application.



## Examples



Shows how to initialize a license for Aspose.Words using a license file in the local file system. 
```cpp
System::String testLicenseFileName = u"Aspose.Words.Cpp.lic";

// Set the license for our Aspose.Words product by passing the local file system filename of a valid license file.
System::String licenseFileName = System::IO::Path::Combine(get_LicenseDir(), testLicenseFileName);

auto license = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::License>();
license->SetLicense(licenseFileName);

// Create a copy of our license file in the binaries folder of our application.
System::String licenseCopyFileName = System::IO::Path::Combine(get_AssemblyDir(), testLicenseFileName);
System::IO::File::Copy(licenseFileName, licenseCopyFileName);

// If we pass a file's name without a path,
// the SetLicense will search several local file system locations for this file.
// One of those locations will be the "bin" folder, which contains a copy of our license file.
license->SetLicense(testLicenseFileName);
```
