Apply License

To apply evaluation/production license in GcWord, the long string key needs to be copied to code in one of the following two ways.

• Pass it as an argument to the GcWordDocument's ctor:
  var doc = new GcWordDocument("key")
  This licenses the instance being created.
  
  
• Call a static method on GcWordDocument:
  GcWordDocument.SetLicenseKey("key");
  This licenses all the instances while the program is running.
