  Hi,

  I have to format my notebook, and I’m responsible for deploying applications on AWS ELB.
  
  Before formatting, I was able to publish, and the report worked as well.

  After formatting, when I try to deploy, I receive this error in production:

  “License for the WebViewer cannot be found. To continue using ActiveReports 12, contact GrapeCity at ActiveReports.Sales@grapecity.com or Order Online. Please send any questions or comments regarding ActiveReports 12, or our other products to activereports.support@grapecity.com.”

  I’m using .NET 4.7.2 C#
  
  And the production environment is AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

  License Manager.
  
  

  Best Regards,
  
  Marcelo

  Hi Marcelo,

  Please make sure you have ‘licenses.licx’ file in your project, and that it contains all the required references (i.e. if you are using WebViewer make sure the licenses file contains

  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.WebViewer, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.v12

  ) you can find the list of all such references here: ActiveReports 12 - Licensing.

  If you are not using WebViewer please make sure to remove the reference from the licenses.licx file.

  After this ‘Clean’ and ‘Rebuild’ your project and it should work as expected. However, if the issue persists please try removing the ‘licenses.licx’ file and then right-click on your project, click on ‘Add > New Item’ and add a new PageReport to your project this will generate a new ‘licenses.licx’ file with all the required references after which you can delete the added PageReport.
  
  Now “Clean” and “Rebuild” your project and it should work as expected.

  To learn more about licensing in ActiveReports 12 please refer to: ActiveReports 12 - Licensing.

  Regards,
  
  Anand

  Thanks, Anand.
  
  That resolved the license problem.

  However, I now have another issue.

  When I try to run a report, a 404 status code is displayed.

  The problem is with erp/ActiveReports.ar12? that could not be found, but it works well on localhost. The report interface loads correctly, but when I click “View Report”, the 404 status code message appears.

  Here is the log

  Hi!

  Here is the reference from the project, and the ‘Copy Local’ property is already set to true.

  Hi Marcello,

  Unfortunately, ActiveReports 12 is a legacy version of ActiveReports and we no longer provide support for the same so I would not be able to provide much help here.

  We’ll suggest upgrading to the latest version of ActiveReports for many new features and bug fixes, you can download the latest version of ActiveReports from here Download ActiveReports and try it free for the first 30 days!

  Regards,
  
  Anand

  Hi Anand,

  That’s unfortunate news for me, as I cannot upgrade at this moment due to the high cost of the dollar in my country, with the exchange rate being 6 to 1, making it too expensive.

  However, I found a solution to my issue.

  I wanted to share this solution in case it helps others:

  In the

  web.config

  file, within the

  <handlers>

  section, there is a line with

  <add verb="*" path="*.ar12" ...

  . This line includes a version value. I simply removed the version and left the relevant part as:

  <add verb="*" path="*.ar12" type="GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.Handlers.ReportBinariesStreamer, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.v12" name="AR_ReportBinariesStreamer" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode"/>
  

  Additionally, I removed the

  ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0

  handler with:

  <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0"/>
  

  Here is the example:

  Before changes:

  <system.webServer>
      <handlers>
          <add verb="*" path="*.ar12" type="GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.Handlers.ReportBinariesStreamer, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.v12, Version=12.2.13986.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff" name="AR_ReportBinariesStreamer" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode"/>
          <add name="WebResourceHandler" path="WebResource.axd" verb="GET" type="System.Web.Handlers.AssemblyResourceLoader"/>
          <add name="MvcHttpHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="*.mvc" type="System.Web.Mvc.MvcHttpHandler, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
          <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0"/>
      </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
  

  After changes:

  <system.webServer>
      <handlers>
          <add verb="*" path="*.ar12" type="GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.Handlers.ReportBinariesStreamer, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web.v12" name="AR_ReportBinariesStreamer" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode"/>
          <add name="WebResourceHandler" path="WebResource.axd" verb="GET" type="System.Web.Handlers.AssemblyResourceLoader"/>
          <add name="MvcHttpHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="*.mvc" type="System.Web.Mvc.MvcHttpHandler, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
          <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0"/>
      </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
  

  That’s works for me

  I hope this helps!

  Regards,
  
  Marcelo
