Getting "License file is missing. Please activate Mono for Android." when deploying to emulator from VS2010

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?
