Upgrade to Latest Version
In This Topic
Follow one of the below to upgrade your DsExcel.NET license to the latest version:
- If you are using the current major version, the existing license key is still valid.
- If you are upgrading from a previous major version, a new license key will be needed.
The new license key must have been provided if you are under current Maintenance. But in case the Maintenance has expired, please contact us.sales@mescius.com to purchase the upgrade.
After receiving the new license key, follow the steps shared below:
- Open an existing .NET core application created with DsExcel.NET previous license.
- Right-click the project in Solution Explorer and choose Manage Nuget Packages.
- In the Package Source on top right, select nuget.org
- Click Updates tab on the top to display the list of all the installed Nuget packages.
- On the left panel, select the Select all packages check box and click Update.
- In the Preview Changes dialog, click Ok and choose I Accept in the next screen.
- Switch to the code view and replace the old key with the new license key received via email.
- To upgrade the license of a particular instance:
var doc = new Workbook("new key");
- To upgrade the license of all the instances:
Workbook.SetLicenseKey("new key");
Note: With v7.0, GrapeCity.Documents.Excel (GcExcel) package is renamed to DS.Documents.Excel (DsExcel). The namespaces and classes within DS.Documents.Excel remain the same, which provide the same functionality and are backwards compatible with GrapeCity.Documents.Excel, ensuring minimal impact on your existing projects.
To upgrade GcExcel package to DsExcel package in your existing projects, follow one of the below options:
- Update package using Migration tool:
