  Hi guys!

  Let’s say there exists some solution that generates reports via AR v10. I’ve downloaded this solution, debugged through report generation, and was able to generate reports, but wasn’t able to edit the layouts due to missing license. It was enough for some time.

  Then I had to edit some layouts, so I’ve installed AR v10 with a license manager, got my trial license, layout edit and report generation worked fine.

  After some time, trial expires and I’m getting a runtime exception on report generation with a message:

  
     System.ComponentModel.LicenseException: Your Trial period has expired.
     at GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport.Run(Boolean syncDocument)
     at GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport.Run()
  
  

  The question is, can I return everything to the state when I was able to generate reports, or i have to get a license?

  Thanks!

  Nevermind guys. Got my license & activated it, everything works fine now.

  However, I think it would be useful to explain if this is solvable without getting a license, just in case someone gets this error and somehow finds this thread

  Thanks!

  Hello,

  How were you able to generate/create the reports earlier at the instance when you could not edit the report layout? Please elaborate.
  
  Note that ActiveReports can be used at an initial stage with the trial version, which can further be extended for 30 days, on requesting a new key from the Sales team.
  
  After this period, a license key is required to use reports in any manner.
  
  You can learn more about licensing ActiveReports from the below mentioned documentation link:

  Best Regards,
