  I created a .NET 4.8 project (console application) that uses a SectionReport. When I use the “Report.Run()” command, I get the following error message: This application will be terminated because it was built without a license for SectionReport. This is the code:

  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Threading.Tasks;
  using System.Xml;
  
  namespace ActiveReport4._8
  {
      internal class Program
      {
          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              SectionReport rpt = new SectionReport();
  
              XmlReader xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(@"D:\tmp\AR\vsdruck_neu.rpx");
              rpt.LoadLayout(xmlReader);
  
              rpt.UserData = @"D:\tmp\AR\test.txt";
  
              rpt.Run();
  
              rpt.Document.Save(@"D:\tmp\AR\output.rdf");
          }
  
  }
  

  I also started glcm.exe. ActiveReports 17 is licensed.

  Could you please help me?

  Note: In a class library, I get a different error message: File or assembly “GrapeCity.ActiveReports” or a dependency could not be found.

  If you need further information, please let me know. Thanks!

  Hello,

  The issue you are getting is because you have licensed the machine by activating the key but your project is not licensed yet. To license you project, you need to add the Licenses.licx file with the following entries in it and keep it’s build action to embed resource:
  
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport, Grapecity.ActiveReports

  To learn more about this please go through the following link:

  To license the class library, you can check the process given in the following doc link:
