server setup: GetLicenseInformation() failed

Options
Hello,

I'm new to photon and I just downloaded the server. I am following the getting started documentation and I'm stuck with the licence file not working. It's working without licence but as soon as I copy my 100ccu test licence into the folder, the licence info display correctly the 100 max connection, but if I try to start Default it stop immediatly.
In the log I have:
3100: 18:19:44.712 - DefaultDomain:1 - GetLicenseInformation() failed.
Exception:
System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Version.TryParseComponent(String component, String componentName, VersionResult& result, Int32& parsedComponent)
at System.Version.TryParseVersion(String version, VersionResult& result)

at PhotonHostRuntime.PhotonDomainManager.GetLicenseInformation(IPhotonServerShutdown shutdown, Int32& maxConcurrentConnections, String[]& validIps)

I couldn't find answers so It doesn't seem like a common issue, is my licence file corrupted somehow ?

    I'm starting the bin_Win64 version on a Window server 2012 R2 64 bit.

    The default 20CCU licence is fine for my test so I did not keep digging.
