Launchbox having unexpected error

[DeadVoivod]

This morning I was adding some PSN games, and it worked fine. Later then I tried to install more, all of a sudden LB didn't find the metadata for the games anymore. So I still added some without metadata to add it then later. Now if I start LB, it starts find, I edit a game and I get an unexpected error when clicking on the search for metadata button.

Looks like you're local metadata file got corrupted. In LaunchBox go to Tools > Download > Force Update Games Database Metadata.. and let that process run and you should be good to go after that.

This means you have an invalid license.xml file in the root of your LaunchBox folder

Look in your \Launchbox folder and if you see a file named License.xml delete it.

The license in there is know to be a shared/pirated license.
