OpenXML license question

Question

Hi,

I'm using ClosedXML to generate spreadsheets. I've been successful in using and testing it without Microsoft Office.

However, a colleague of mine said that I need an office license to use it in production.

My question is if I need an office license on the production server to use this lib.

Answer 3

Hi,

ClosedXML has an MIT license, so no problem. My question is more related to Microsoft Office license. Can I use ClosedXML or OpenXML to generate XLSX files without an office license?

Hi Klismann,
