Additional Information

The application contains a License Control in addition to code that attempts to check out a license. The License Control is set to Engine only. When the application loads to attempts to check out an Engine License which fails because it does not exist and the License Control reports a failure to get a license, and the rest of the Controls fail to load. The application should either rely on the code to check out the license or use the Control. Not both. If you modify the application to use only the License Control (and specify desktop licenses also in the control) or you delete the license control from the form the application will work as expected.

Workaround

Modify the application to use only the license control (and specify desktop licenses), or delete the license control from the form.
