    {
        // Initialize TeX convert options
        var options = new ConvertOptions
        {
            // Required: Specify the input TeX file path
            InputPath = "input.tex",

            options.LicenseFile = "path_to_license.lic";
        }

        // Execute the TeX conversion task
        await ConvertTasks.Create(options).Execute();
    }
