There is a different license needed for when Genero applications are executed
(runtime license) to when the source files are compiled (development license).

compile your source files. You need a
runtime license for each application you
package and deploy on production sites.

Language (BDL) license must be for a Genero Mobile installation. If you receive an error message:

This
means that the Genero BDL license you have is not valid for Genero Mobile. Please contact your local
sales office for further information.

your local sales office for details.
