"Error description: set: license limit exceeded"

[J. Landman Gay]

Deprecated doesn't mean gone, it means basically no longer useful, either 
because it's been replaced by something better or because it no longer 
applies. Typically the original term is retained in the language for 
backward compatibility, but use in new code going forward is discouraged.

This is like the numtochar you use in Deva Writer, which is no longer 
necessary in LC7+.  It doesn't break scripts but using newer syntax is more 
powerful and convenient.
