Errors for AR.NET when Licensing a Machine

Active reports can have several errors when activating on your machine.
Here is a page to help you determine the issue.

If you are activating AR on GCLM and get one of the following error types, here are the solutions:


Key is invalid- 
This error occurs when the key is not valid for that version of ActiveReports.NET that you are trying to activate. It may be for a different version so verify with the area you got the key from for that or a mis-copy/typo.

Over maximum frequency-
If you get this error that means you have went over the standard number of activation requests for a given time period. A standard key has the limits of 3 times a day, 10 in 10 days, and 25 for a period of 360 days.

Over maximum activations-
A standard key can be activated on 3 machines at once. Please make sure to deactivate a machine before decommissioning it or else you will need to raise a support ticket before you can have all 3 activations active again.

A useful tool on your side is the Reactivation Request.
For Version 14 and above you can go to the following site and select Reactivation Request. During which you will send a request for reactivation. There is 1 auto approve, but after that your account and key will be reviewed before the key is reactivated. Here is the latest docs page on this: https://developer.mescius.com/activereportsnet/docs/developers/ar-how-licensing-activereports/submit-reactivation-request
If working with versions below 14, please refer to their own docs section.
