ImageCollection images = new ImageCollection();
images.Add(new MemoryStream(document.imagedata);

where imagedata is a byte array, I receive the following exception:

System.ComponentModel.LicenseException: A valid license cannot be granted for the type Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Decoders.DecoderBase. Contact the manufacturer of the component for more information.

I am referencing Vintasoft.Imaging and Vintasoft.Imaging.Annotation in the solution. quick overview: What I'm trying to do here I'm already doing in a different form of the same solution with the same using statements.

The license is valid and functions in a different form of the same solution. I ran into this problem earlier but got around it by moving code around (something to do with the TiffEncoder class, I can't remember what I did with it). The lcx is referencing

Vintasoft.Imaging.Annotation.UI.AnnotationViewer, Vintasoft.Imaging.Annotation, Version=8.3.15.1, Culture=neutral

with a public key token as well.

I've tried adding an empty byte[], I've also tried passing a bool as a second arg to the ImageCollection.Add. It recognizes when the memorystream is empty.

What I'm ultimately trying to accomplish: Load an image with annotations, flattened as a memorystream. No writing to the file system. I've accomplished this elsewhere in the solution by loading the exact same data in the same fashion. I have no clue where to look from this point.
