Getting Licence error on live site after upgrade to v2

I have upgraded to v2 of PDF Creator and all works fine locally. I uploaded everythin to the live site and checked that the old version of PDF Creator was removed but I get an error when creating a PDF that says the licence is invalid.

I get this in the .pdf file:

<html>
               
<head>
                               
<title>
                                               
You can only work with a trial license on localhost and .local domains.
                               
</title>
                               
<style type="text/css">
                                               
h1 { font-size: 15t; }
                                               
body { background: #cccccc; font-family: helvetica, arial; }
                               
</style>
 
    </head>
               
<body>
                               
<h1>You can only work with a trial license on localhost and .local
domains.</h1>
                               
<p>
                                               
PDF Creator for Umbraco is a commercial project. Please email <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
for more details.
                                               
Or purchase a license from <a href="http://our.umbraco.org">our.umbraco.org</a>.
                               
</p>
               
</body>
</html>

I checked that the licence was correct by downloading it from my account on our.umbraco.org.

HELP!!!

The PDF creation works fine locally. To update the live site I installed PDF Creator on the live server, removed files as suggested in the documentation and then copied all changed files from dev to live. I am currently getting this error:

I have also compared all files on Dev and Live (using Beyond Compare) and as far as I can see they match. The only other possible difference is the Macros (etc?) in the CMS.

OK - found the problem!!

The macros for each PDF were not created properly - I deleted and re-added them in Umbraco on the live site and it worked again! :-)
