Licensing.Net.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Licensing.Net.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. YouTube PlayList Downloader) could share the same Licensing.Net.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when Licensing.Net.dll is attempted to be loaded either when YouTube PlayList Downloader is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Licensing.Net.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - Licensing.Net.dll.
- Licensing.Net.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\YouTubeSoft\YouTube Playlist Downloader\Licensing.Net.dll.
- Cannot register Licensing.Net.dll.
- Cannot start YouTube PlayList Downloader. A required component is missing: Licensing.Net.dll. Please install YouTube PlayList Downloader again.
- Failed to load Licensing.Net.dll.
- The application has failed to start because Licensing.Net.dll was not found.
- The file Licensing.Net.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because Licensing.Net.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your Licensing.Net.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with YouTube PlayList Downloader), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Licensing.Net.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading YouTube PlayList Downloader, system crash while loading Licensing.Net.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
