Class Library Licenser Is Unlicensed Error in Measurement Studio

Issue Details

• I am using one of my old projects on my new version of Measurement Studio and when trying to compile the program I get the following error message.

• I upgraded Measurement Studio, and now when I call the Analysis Enterprise Library I get the following error. 

• When I compile my project, a LicenseException is thrown.
• NI graphs and controls do not show up correctly in the designer view (WPF) and show error code XDG0062.

Solution

• Make sure that your solution references are from the correct edition of the software you are using. For example, if you are using Measurement Studio Base or Professional editions, use NationalInstruments.Analysis.[Base or Professional] instead of NationalInstruments.Analysis.Enterprise as a dependency:
  • The How to: Create and remove project dependencies article from Microsoft details the process to include references.
  • You can confirm the edition of Measurement Studio you are using in the NI License Manager. 
• Ensure you have the proper Development System activated. For this go to NI License Manager and check that the Development edition of the Measurement Studio you are using is licensed.

• Try to refresh/create the license file (.licx file) of the project automatically. Follow the process detailed in the How to Generate a License File in Measurement Studio guide to complete this step.
• Try to recreate your license file (.licx file) of the project manually. Use the Create a .licx File for My Measurement Studio Project tool to create the license lines for each of the libraries.
• Force the reinstallation of NI License Manager by following the steps detailed in the Force Reinstall Non-Working or Corrupt NI Software article.
• Upgrade NI License Manager.
• If none of the previous troubleshooting steps fix the issue, uninstall Measurement Studio and Visual Studio and perform a clean installation of both components.

Additional Information

Microsoft .NET Framework language compilers embed Measurement Studio licenses into your assembly every time you build an assembly that references a Measurement Studio licensed class library. The compilers use License Compiler to do this. The input to License Compiler is a licenses.licx file that contains a list of licensed types and the assemblies that contain these licensed types. At compile time, License Compiler obtains licenses from NI License Manager for the Measurement Studio components listed in the licenses.licx file, which the .NET language compiler embeds into the assembly as a resource.
