Hello -

I have a valid license for my PDF Viewer and have applied it to my application which works well after being compiled. However when trying to view a form with form designer it throws an error saying the license is expired or invalid. 

Is there any way to configure the code or VS to apply the license key so we can view a form with PDF Viewer control on it in designer? I tried adding the key in the InitializeComponent() code of the form but the designer still will not allow the control to be created. While I can work around this for now it is somewhat inconvenient in making form updates without being able to view all the controls on the form in designer mode.

The designer mode did work properly when I first downloaded and installed the PDF Viewer after purchasing it (about two months ago) - apparently it thinks it is the trial version until the license key can be applied - but obviously the form designer wrapper code is unable to do that.

Thanks for any assistance.
