  I’m upgrading my reports from v11 to v15 (already ran the updater). I’ve installed AR15 but when I double click on a new or existing report, I get the following stack trace

  Hi Nick,
  
  Please make sure you have GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Serializer package installed. You can install the package from NuGet Package Manager.
  
  Once you have installed the package please clean and rebuild the project.

  If you are still not able to open the report designer then please make sure you applications meets the following product requirements for ActiveReports 15.
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/activereportsnet/docs/versions/v15/online/requirements.html

  Let us know if the issue still persists.
