FindFromPoint call doesn't work with runtime license

With Ranorex 4.1.2.16100 calling Host.Local.Element.FindFromPoint doesn't work on PC with Ranorex runtime license only. On the development PC the test calling this function is working fine, but on the test machine a Ranorex dialog is shown requesting a Developer license.
When I disable the call of 'FindFromPoint' in the test, execution on test machine is fine.

Hello,

That is correct.
Unfortunately, the usage of the method Host.Local.Element.FindFromPoint requires at least a Developer license.

Hi, is this now the end of the story? For me this is a bug.
I expect that I can run any Ranorex test script I compiled on my development machine with a Developer license on the test machine with a Runtime license.
With Ranorex 2.0 method Host.Local.Element.FindFromPoint worked fine with a Runtime license and I expect same behavior with Ranorex 4.

Hello,

You should have already received an email from Christoph.

We have changed our license model since Ranorex 3.3 in such a way that a developer license is required for API method calls (e.g. FindFromPoint) which are needed to develop tests.

Thank you for your understanding.
