You are using Aspose directly. In this case you must ensure that the Aspose License is loaded. The easiest way is just to execute the following statement within the process. This statement will load the Aspose license: new AsposeDocFactory(); You may work directly with the DocFactory-API. Sample conversion of Word-Document to PDF: BaseDocFactory docFactory = new AsposeDocFactory(); docFactory .generateDocument("C:\\dev\\test.docx", "abc", "C:\\dev\\", ".pdf", new ArrayList<>());ArrayList<>()); **Update 13.10.2017** You may need another Aspose license. I recommend to load the specific license over the following API: ch.ivyteam.ivy.addons.docfactory.aspose.LicenseLoader.loadLicenseforProduct(AsposeProduct) `new AsposeDocFactory()` would only load the license of type `AsposeProduct.WORDS`
