The method looks for all license files ending with 'lic' extension located at the application's folder. It then validates each license with its Locks, the first valid license is then returned to the caller. A LicenseNotFoundException is thrown when the component cannot be granted a license, alternatively if allowExceptions is set to false a null value is returned. To add additional license search folders use AddSearchDirectory.
