  Hi, I’ve just create a new library type project targeting netstandard2.0-windows ( existing code will be migrated from .net47 to .net8)

  The problem is, compiling the following licenses.licx produces errors in both lines. Here is the licenses.licx content

  what’s causing the licenses.licx build to fail?

  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport, MESCIUS.ActiveReports
  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport, MESCIUS.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf

  line 1 produces this error:

  Error (active)	LC0004	Exception occurred creating type 'GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport, MESCIUS.ActiveReports, Version=18.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff' System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Configuration.SettingsExtensions' threw an exception.

  Hi Gerardo,

  Could you please try and use the ActiveReports File Converter tool and see if that fixes the issue? Please refer to the following steps:

  1. Open the project in Visual Studio 2022.
  2. Go to **Tools>Convert To ActiveReports 18**.
  

  Once the conversion is done, try to clean and rebuild the application, and then run it.

  Although if you are building a class library (.dll) project, you’ll need to license your application using a ‘.gclicx’ license file. You can learn more about generating a ‘.gclicx’ license file here: Licensing Compiled Code.

  Please make sure to delete the ‘licenses.licx’ file in this case, as we are licensing the project using the ‘.gclicx’ license file.

  If the issue persists, please try sharing a sample stripped-down application replicating the issue so we can test it on our end and further investigate it.
