  Hi,
  
  in an automated VS2019 / C# build, I did not get an error although the activereport license was deactivated. Is there a way to check via command line, whether a valid license is available during the build to generate an error otherwise?
  
  Thx

  Hello,

  For ActiveReports 16, you can use the below-specified command line to check the activation status:

  
  cmd /c "C:\ProgramData\GrapeCity\gclm\gclm.exe "5e0b5f44-1a6b-4aff-a007-17b9224bca83" > info.txt"
  
  

  Hope it helps.

  Regards

  Hi,
  
  thanks for the info. Unfortunately we still stick to ActiveReports 13. Is there a similar command for AR13 available?
  
  Thx

  Hello,

  Unfortunately, The license Manager for ActiveReports 13 does not support the given functionality to show the license activation status. However, as a workaround, we would suggest creating a console application and then running an instance of SectionReport enclosed within a try-catch block. Thus, If the machine is not licensed an error would be raised which can be handled within the catch block.

  We can then use the command line to build the project and then execute the build exe file to run the project as follows (consider the project name to Sample):

  
  msbuild Sample.sln
  cd bin/Debug
  Sample.exe
  
  

  Please find the sample application attached below.
