  I have a dev license and i am the only one who works on Active Reports v14. We have a .Net assembly which refers to all the grapecity dlls and i compile it on my machine. The application uses this dll to generate reports.
  
  How do i license the application?
  
  Thanks

  2:Switch to C:\ProgramData\GrapeCity\gclm folder
  
  3: Enter the following: gclm.exe “de456e2c-d2e3-4246-94e8-9648bbd6fbf0” -lc ./.gclicx [entry application name].[assemblyname].dll"
  
  4: Check that .gclicx file is generated in C:\ProgramData\GrapeCity\gclm folder.

  Mohit Many Thanks for your response. The licensing seems like it might be working but I will have to test it out on a different client machine.

  I am now facing another issue. On Export to pdf I am getting this exception thrown and I have no clue why it is trying to refer v3.1.0.519.

  We have the following code and it is working with v12 of AR. But when I upgraded to v14, the export throws the following error. Can you please help?

  Unable to view requested report: . Error showing report viewer window. Unable to view requested report: Order - Summary/Item Detail. Could not load file or assembly ‘GrapeCity.Documents.Pdf, Version=3.1.0.519, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d55d733d2bfd5065’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

  Private Sub ExportReport()

      Const FILE_EXTENSION As String = "pdf"
      dlgSaveFile.Filter = "PDF Files (*.pdf)|*.pdf"
      Dim pr As New PageReport()
      Dim defaultPath As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments
  
      'Everyone should have a my documents directory. This is an attempt to fix
      'this for one guy who seems to not have it.
      If Not My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(defaultPath) Then
          defaultPath = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop
      End If
  
      dlgSaveFile.FileName = My.Computer.FileSystem.CombinePath(defaultPath, _
          m_sDefaultExportFileName.Trim & "." & FILE_EXTENSION)
  
      If dlgSaveFile.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
          PdfExport2.Export(repViewer.Document, dlgSaveFile.FileName)
         
      End If
  
  End Sub

  Thanks once again Mohit, the hotfix worked with the exception for export.

  Question -
  
  I have multiple applications(.exe(s)) which uses that one dll that has the .gclix embeded, but each time I have to run the gclm command for each of those applications to create a new .gclix file and then embed in to the dll project and recompile it. Is there a better way to do this which minimizes this task of recreating the .gclix for each application?

  Thanks with Regards
  
  Arun
