Ahhh, so it’s a build time issue not having the license to compile into the assembly - not a deployment issue where the license needs to exist on the client.

So I need to copy the license file onto `%APPDATA%\RemObjects Software\Licenses` on the build environment, not the client.

Thank you for clearing that up.

I got a little confused. I thought it was a similar issue to this
