Excel to pdf conversion - Could not load file or assembly 'Syncfusion.Compression.Base, Version=16.3450.0.29

Hi 
I use Syncfusion to convert excel to pdf documents. It was working fine till I tried to update some dlls to the latest version via Nuget. I realised that one of the dependencies could not be upgraded & hence brought everything back to the initial version of 16.3 . Now when I try to convert an excel file, I get a run time error. I checked that all of them are the same versions for syncfusion.The code compiles fine. 
Can you please help , I needed to add a new feature for our clients and currently the existing portion is broken. 

Could not load file or assembly 'Syncfusion.Compression.Base, Version=16.3450.0.29, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.":"Syncfusion.Compression.Base, Version=16.3450.0.29, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89


The part where it is failing when stepping through is 
 using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())

Thanks so much

I upgraded everything to the latest version for asp.net.mvc5 . I get a licensing version error. 
The Syncfusion.licensing.dll has a version of 16.4460.0.52 whereas the Syncfusion.DocIO.Base.dll is looking for a version number of 16.4450.0.52 for the license. How do we correct this error? I need this working as soon as possible. I have removed and added the nuget packages several times.

I installed the nuget packages exactly as the instruction indicated. I am not sure why the versions of the dlls are off . 

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks
Jayasri

I was able to resolve it by manually picking the right sub version of the licensing.dll from the nuget downloaded packages.
