  When exporting to PDF, whatever report that’s working in other languages, the method is getting me an exception:

  [i]GrapeCity.Documents.Pdf.PdfException: Add meta data failed ---> System.Exception: Invalid license key.
     at agj..ctor(String A_0)
     at GrapeCity.Documents.Pdf.GcPdfDocument..ctor(String licenseKey)
     at GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport.AddMeta(Stream input, Stream output,  options, StandardSecurityHandlerRev5 sh)
     --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
     at GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport.AddMeta(Stream input, Stream output,  options, StandardSecurityHandlerRev5 sh)
     at GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport.Export(SectionDocument document, Stream stream, String pageRange)
     at GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport.Export(SectionDocument document, String filePath, String pageRange)
     at GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport.Export(SectionDocument document, String filePath)
     at LabLink.Business.Report2018.Generate()[/i]
  

  I have another 12 languages and no error is present.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Martin,

  I was unable to replicate this issue at my end. For testing this I created a sample application and attached it along with. The report exported without any error message. Also please note Invalid License Key error usually occurs when their is an issue with licensing your application.

  Please make sure you have licensed you application correctly. For your licensing your project please refer to the following pages of our documentation:
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/activereportsnet/docs/versions/v14/online/licensing-a-project.html

  If you are using any class library with ActiveReports reference in your project please refer to the following page of our documentation to license your application:
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/activereportsnet/docs/versions/v14/online/licensing-compiled-code.html

  If the issue still persists, please let us in your application structure and let us know what edition of ActiveReports 14 are you using? (Standard or Professional). Please also share a runnable sample application replicating this issue or edit the attach sample such that it replicates the error and send it back to us so we can reproduce this error at our end and get back to you accordingly.

  Hi Akshay,

  Thanks for the response!. I’m using a web application.
  
  Adding an example in VS 2017. See that the export fails if the thread culture is in “tr-TR”, in other cultures the export works fine.

  
  			Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("tr-TR");
  			Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("tr-TR");
  
  			SectionReport1 llReport = new SectionReport1();
  			llReport.Run();
  			string reportGuid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
  
  			// Save output
  			PdfExport pdf = new PdfExport();
  			pdf.Export(llReport.Document, @"c:\reports\" + reportGuid + ".pdf");

  Hi Martin,

  Please note ActiveReports 14 is no longer under maintenance which is why no hotfixes will be provided for ActiveReports 14. It is suggested to upgrade to the latest version of ActiveReports i.e. ActiveReports 16 for latest bug fixes and features.

  You can download ActiveReports 16 please use the following link:
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/activereportsnet/download

  We are working on this issue I’ll get back to you once a fix is available in ActiveReports16.
