I understand. This happens once in couple of months, I'll try to figure out some clues next time and post an update.

The AtomicReauthenticateAndInstallLicense and StartBackgroundReauthentication are using GetLicense method inside a mutex.

However, there is GetLicense method in LicenseProvider that can be (and is) called from various points and it is reading the license file without a mutex.. Isn't there a chance that read will clash with writing?

Calling GetLicense does not pose a synchronization problem provided that you don't Reauthenticate or save the license outside the mutex. Typically GetLicense is just called when the application is started to check if there is a valid license. If there isn't then the EvaluationDialog is shown.
