Could not transform licenses file 'licenses.licx'

HTI

When we release a new version of our product, we create a branch in our source control which essentially copies all of our code. In the main codebase I can compile this just fine. However, in my new branch, I am getting the following error. I have already removed and re-added the assembly references, but to no avail.

Could not transform licenses file 'licenses.licx' into a binary resource. (1) : error LC0004 : Exception occured creating type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException'

Which file can it not find? Any suggestions?

After using FileMon from SysInternals, it turns out it could not find "RedGate.Licensing.Client.dll" or "RedGate.Licensing.Helper.dll". After I fixed that it compiles now.

Hello,

Good point. If the custom licensing is going to be invoked (ie you need to enter a serial number because the Toolkit had not been licensed on a new computer), then you will need to have the RedGate.Licensing.*.dll assemblies present.
