The Smartsite.Licensing.config file is missing the scopeparameterinput xml element, which is used in combination with (certain values of) the scopeparametertype xml element.

Smartsite's licensing mechanism supports multiple ways of providing the appropriate parameters which should be used to create a scopeparameter. In the end, it is the scopeparameter that determines which license (e.g. local on or a remote licensehost server) will be used when performing license checks.

Usually, it is sufficient to just specify the appropriate licensehost and productid within the licensing config. However, when this error occurs it means the scopeparametertype has been used and it is set to specifiedlicensemanager or specifiedhasp, but the in this case required element scopeparameterinput is missing.
