Gets a license for an instance or type of component. The license found is validated against its Locks
A valid AgileDotNetLicense.
The method looks for all license files ending with 'lic' extension located at the application's code base directory. 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.
This method cannot be called directly, it's called by decorating the licensed type with a LicenseProviderAttribute attribute, and then validating the license by calling Validate. Alternatively you can call Validate directly.
