  Hi, we recently had an issue where a build agent failed to register the license for active report leading for us to generate a lot of report with the Activation watermark on them.

  Since we don’t want this behavior to happen again, we’re trying to make sure that the product is always activated on the production environment.

  I’ve searched but did not find any easy way to check if the product is activated.

  Hopefully someone knows the answer.

  Hi JM,

  We would suggest that you go through the attached documentation link regarding licensing your Build Agents/Pipelines with ActiveReports 18 and also to check whether the license is activated or not: Licensing Build Agents/Pipelines using Command Line

  We hope this helps!

  It does not answer my question. My goal is not to activate the product.

  My goal is to make sure that my product is activated in production.

  At startup I want to do something like
  
  If Not ActiveReport.IsCorrectlyLicenced
  
  THROW LicenceIsRequired

  My question is how do I programmatically check for the activation at runtime

  Hi JM,

  To get the status of your license you’ll need to execute the command

  C:\ProgramData\GrapeCity\gclm>gclm "463c4179-288c-48fe-a4df-3b609586667d" > "info.txt"

  in the command line, this will generate a ‘info.txt’ file with the 'License Status.

  If the license is successfully activated it will read ‘Product License Activated’, at the startup you can check the ‘info.txt’ file for this string, if not available then ActiveReports either does not have any license in Production or is in Evaluation mode.

  You can learn more about the same here: Check the License Status.

  Please find attached a sample implementing the same.
