We also have upgraded a Sitefinity project from 7.0 to 8.2. This same error message was being shown after the upgrade.

The type initializer for 'ServiceStack.Text.JsConfig' threw an exception.

To solve this we have followed the instructions on this page: http://www.sitefinity.com/developer-network/knowledge-base/details/service-stack-license-error-after-upgrade-to-version-8.1.

EDIT

As the link above no longer working as expected:

https://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/ServiceStack-Text-JsConfig-error-while-upgrading-to-Sitefinity-8-2?q=service-stack-license-error-after-upgrade-to-version-8.1

Cause: An expired ServiceStack license key is present in the web.config file.

Resolution: remove the offending key from appSettings

To prevent this, first update your "old" license and then start the upgrading process with the new license. Licenses can be downloaded in the admin panel.

If you've already upgraded and this exception is thrown, just remove the service stack license key in your web.config as mentioned in the previous link. ( ).

I am just adding it here, to keep everything on stackoverflow. Links on Telerik / Sitefinity often dissapear or are changed (without redirects). That's why ths page probably doesn't show up in Google.
