Parameters

componentName
Name of the licensing component for which the location of the license should be registered. Consult the documentation for the value that corresponds to your product.
licenseId
ID of the license for whose location should be registered. Consult the documentation for the values to be used with your product.
filePath
The name of the file containing the license.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
A license file is already registered for componentName and licenseId.

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

An invalid Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) was detected.
Remarks

The same combination of componentName and licenseId must not (and cannot) be registered more than once. An attempt to do so will result in an System.ArgumentException. Be careful not to put the registration code into Web request handlers (without further logic) which are called repeatedly.

The actual presence and validity of the license is not checked at the time when the location is registered. If you want an exception be thrown when the file does not exist or is not accessible, use the RegisterFileWithExistenceCheck method.
