Could not load file or assembly 'App_Licenses' or one of its dependencies. Access is denied.

Question

Has anyone ever come across this? I've never seen it before. I know there is a *.lic" file in my bin for some web charting software.

I did a publish, copied to dev server and then suddenly boom, get this error on every page.

Any ideas? I've cleared out temp asp.net files and restarted IIS.

edit:

wow, I'm thinking this might be the TumbleWeed badge.

Answer 1

Are you impersonating?

Answer 2

The problem was the NETWORK SERVICE lost it's permission to the bin directory. Yo estoy stupido.
