LC 9.5.6, Android and JSONToArray

[Ralph DiMola]

Dan,

Same problem with tsNet. The pro was the second license and as in previous version I just blew past the licensing dialog without reading. After I re-licensed and clicked the right arrow and selected the pro license(clearly marked) I was good to go. Although I assumed... Maybe the highest level of license should be the default?

Hello Dan,

I reply here so that other affected users can see it. So, the culprit was that Dan's stack had "Remote Debugger" in the inclusions, but LC 9.6.5 was activated with a license that did not include this feature.

Dan had another license that did include the "pro" features (i.e. remote debugger, pdf widget etc), and once he relicensed LC with this license,
JSONToArray() worked as expected.

What happened under the hood was that an error was thrown when the standalone was trying to load the Remote Debugger library on startup, and this error prevented all the other included libraries (including mergJSON) to load. This is a bug we should fix - i.e. the standalone builder should only include libraries that are licensed.

You can check if your current license has the pro features using "put the editionType". If it returns "professional", you do have them. If it returns "commercial", you do not.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Panos
