2.2 License

There are two types of “HTML on Word” licenses: a 30-day evaluation license and an official license. There is no difference in conversion features between these two types of licenses. The license type is switched according to the license file.

2.2.1 Evaluation version

The evaluation version can be obtained from the product’s web page.

When the installation of the evaluation version is completed, a license file containing the 30-day evaluation license data will be set in the installation folder.

There are no feature restrictions on the evaluation version, and you can use the same features as the official version. However, the usage period of the evaluation version is limited to 30 days, and you will not be able to start the command-line version 30 days after the installation. To continue using it, you need to purchase the official version from the Antenna House.

When you purchase this product, the official license data (license file) and license certificate will be provided to you. The license file name is “xhwlic.dat”.

The default installation folder for the command-line program is as follows:

C:\Program Files\Antenna House\xhw20\
