License Does Not Exist Error

We have developed an add-on solution. Our license file has an add-on identifier section. However, after generating our identifier with <u>solution</u> as the selection we get the error "License Does Not Exist" upon connection to the SAP databse.

If we select the <u>developer</u> we do not get the error. Do we need to purchase the solution license prior to completing our certification testing or submit for certification testing with the developer selection for generating our identifier?
