  Hello,

  My company is currently evaluating the ActiveReport Professional solution, thus I am working with an trial license.

  For this evaluation, I am following the steps described here: https://www.grapecity.com/activereports/docs/v14/online/how-to-create-simple-web-designer-sample.html
  
  However, I am stuck at step #14. The page displays a license error:
  
  

  

  1280×981 23.9 KB

  According to what is described here, the Licenses.licx should have been automatically generated, but it was not present in the project:
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/activereports/docs/v14/online/ar-how-licensing-activereports.html
  
  I have tried creating an empty Licences.licx. It has first generated an error:

  

  817×66 4.53 KB

  
  
  I was able to work around this error using some trick found on StackOverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/a/56593653), but the page still showed the same error (and the App_Licenses.dll was not generated).
  
  Then I tried filling it with the GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport, GrapeCity.ActiveReports <…> strings, but it now creates the following errors:
  
  

  

  1231×117 5.42 KB

  Please note that I am not familiar with .net, so I might overlook something basic.

  Best regards,
  
  Pierre-Yves

  Hello,

  Sorry, we have missed this query somehow. Have you install the ActiveReports through MSI or you are directly using the AR using NPM/NuGet?
  
  If you are using AR directly from the NPM/NuGet then please install the GC license manager using the following link:
  
  https://cdn.grapecity.com/license/winclient.zip

  Please remove all your workaround in your sample. Please add the “Licenses.licx” file in properties folder of your project with the following entries:

  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport, GrapeCity.ActiveReports
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport, GrapeCity.ActiveReports
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf
  

  Or you can directly add the attached file in properties folder of your project.

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,
  
  Mohit
