Getting "License file is missing. Please activate Mono for Android." when deploying to emulator from VS2010_问答_开发者

I'm just starting with Mono for Android and installed it using the steps here http://mono-android.net/Installation/Visual_Studio and followed all the steps http://mono-android.net/Tutorials/Hello_World to create my Hello World abut I was not seeing anything, until I found this post to enable debug log http://mono-android.net/Documentation/Troubleshoot everything in the log seems to be ok except that I get the above error.

Here's the full log

I figured out that I wasn't selecting the device after hitting Ctrl+F5, did it and it works, it does however take a while to deploy the files on the emulator and run.

I don't think that's your actual error. I think that's a normal message for a machine that hasn't been activated.

Can you walk through what does happen, and tell us where something is happening that you are not expecting?
