  I installed the latest version of Spread and ActiveReports trial to test upgrades, but then uninstalled everything (or so I thought). I kept getting weird errors about the new version even though it’s uninstalled. Now I just can’t build ANYTHING before of reference and license errors. The old license is activated and valid. Is there any way around this?

  Hi,

  Can you please confirm the License Status that is displayed in the License Manager?

  Thanks,

  There is no entry for Spread 11 which is why the license validation is failing at build time.
  
  Is Spread 11 currently installed on your system? If it is, can you try re-installing it?

  I was able to resolve this issue by finding an offline installer for v11 and running the MSI installers for each individual component. Then activated my license for v11. I then removed references to v14 from the registry and removed/added references in the projects. Then it built fine.
