Trying to obtain license.

[sam-relative]

Hi,
trying to obtain a license to use for a comercial client. The nativedocuments.com website has been down for months. Is this still active and is it possible to purchase a license?

Sorry, but it is not possible to purchase a license for docX-wasm. The developer of the docX library is currently working on a new product that recently entered closed beta. The new product is a document processing and augmented collaboration framework for the training and commercial production of emerging AI/NLP systems. Many thanks to all those who appreciated docX-wasm. When the new product is is available we will post an announcement.

@garylyn what does that mean for existing users of docx-wasm? Is it still supported, is there an EOL date?

So does this mean that new users cant use docx-wasm to covert docx to pdfs? We have a release coming up shortly and we have this new requirement. I had proposed docx-wasm, but unable to generate ND_DEV_ID, ND_DEV_SECRET pair as https://developers.nativedocuments.com/ seems to be down

Is it just me, or does this make little or no logical sense?

I read it as - the developer has changed to a completely dissimilar area of computer science ( Neuro-linguistic programming in Artificial intelligence). The developer will let us know when 1 of???

• Their new project (which has very little to do with the price of fish in China, or in this case producing client side PDFs from docx templates) is ready??
• They have on-sold the current project to an interested party who will re-establish licensing??

It is interesting there is no mention of changing the license to a fully open source and free license.

+1 to no logical sense.

Given the work the native documents team did in blogs and research articles, the use case around this product on lambda exactly equals my case of statements for a lending type client not wanting to use cloud-based pdf generators.

So unfortunate and destructive now turning this 'off'. I suspect something legal may have occurred, as no communication and having the website and product just disapear.

You realise you're communicating with other software developers right? The above gibberish doesn't really help your credibility.
