Assembly Load Trace: The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 'K2Licensing' could not be loaded.
WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog].

Runtime Error
Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.
Diagnoses
The appPool that is associated to the smartforms web sites is running as a 32-bit app instead of a 64 bit app.
Resolution
- Open IIS where the K2 smartforms designer site is hosted.
- Right-click the appPool that is running the designer site, and select "Advanced Settings" from the context menu.
- Under the "General" section, make sure that "Enable 32-bit Applications" is set to "False".
- Perform an IISReset and try again. (You might need to do this for the appPool running the runtime site as well.)
It is possible to only install the Runtime site in the production environment. The configuration is up to your design and architecture, but we recommend to have both, designer and runtime. It makes it easier for the administration.
The next link explains a little bit more about Design Time Vs Runtime Sites:
http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/K2smartforms/ICG/4.6.9/default.htm#Design_Time_versus_Runtime_Sites.html
If you do not have a the designer site then you should note and give the path form name to your users, there is no way to manage the forms without the designer in a graphic way. You may want to use the Context browser from K2 Studio and see the forms from the SmartForms Server, but that's it.
You should be able to browse the Forms Runtime URL, here are some examples of how you can input the form:
Forms support the following:
(Test Form is the name of the form)
1.Vanity URL: http://dlx/SmartForms/Runtime/Form/test+form/
2.By ID: http://dlx/SmartForms/Runtime/Form.aspx?id=b73caa60-ea6c-4948-a77e-18e05987a2ff
3.By name: http://dlx/SmartForms/Runtime/Form.aspx?name=test form
