We are getting random exceptions where Aspose.Words cannot find the license file and is looking in this location:

Hi Todd,

Thanks for your inquiry. If the license file is not found, SetLicense throws this exception. Could you please set breakpoint at SetLicense call and make sure SetLicense is called?

Restart the services/web server related to your application if
there is any. Please read more about applying license from here:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/Applying+a+License

Please let us know if you have any more queries.
