The NuGet packages for all controls and components of our product, including those for the free edition, is available for download as an installer package that you can directly install on your machine. The installer also includes demo projects, offline documentation, and the Gnostice License Manager Visual Studio extension that you can use for managing the product licenses. You can download the product installer from here.

 

Run the installer program with Administrator privileges and then follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

When a new version is installed the installer first removes the previously installed version, if any.

Offline NuGet Packages

The installer program copies all the NuGet package for offline installation under "Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages" folder. This folder is usually at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\". In Visual Studio you can choose this location as the package source if you wish to install our NuGet packages from there.

Demos

The demos are copied on to the machine at “%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Gnostice\Document Studio .NET\Demos”

Offline Documentation

If you prefer to view the product help from Visual Studio / Microsoft HelpViewer then you need to install the help file. The instructions on how to do this are available in the document at “C:\Program Files (x86)\Gnostice\DevSystem .NET 20XX Rx\Document Studio\Help\MSHC_Output\Help-Installation.rtf”

Purchase

You do not need any license key for trying out the product. In trial mode (no license installed) the output will contain a water-mark and may also display a popup stating that a trial edition product was used to create the application.

 

If you are happy with the product trial and wish to purchase a registered license, you can do so by visiting our website. After you purchase our product you will be sent a license key which can be used to activate the product. Once the license key is installed the trial restrictions will be automatically removed - you do not need to install anything further. You can refer to the topic on License Management for more information.
