MS Access Forum / ActiveX Controls / March 2004MSComCtl2.MonthView licensing problem
Hi I'm tring to deploy MSComCtl2.MonthView contained in MSCOMCT2.OCX. It gets installed via Installshield using mscomct2.msm, which in _theory_ should do all the registry stuff. Mostly it deploys OK, but I've got a Win98 PC which gives this error whenever it's instantiated: "80040112: Appropriate license for this class not found" Reinstalling makes no difference. Does anyone (MS?) have a .reg file, or some other fix that would get me over this? Thanks in advance. Brian Abbott normally registering is enough. only when you create control during runtime - you need design license. how you are using it?

My name is Billy and it's my pleasure to assist you with this issue. Thanks to Alex's great help on your issue. You can use the licenses.add method to get the design license, or you can use the utility we provided to fix this design-time license used by ActiveX controls installed with VB 5.0 or 6.0. See the following article below: 194751 FILE: VB6Cli.exe Fixes License Problems with Visual Basic 6.0 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=194751 For VC++ information, please reference the following KBs: 151771 LICREQST.EXE Requesting a License Key from an Object http://support.microsoft.com/?id=151771 228530 BUG: Access Violation in Ole32.dll When Creating an ATL Composite Control http://support.microsoft.com/?id=228530 Brian, does that answer your question? Please apply our suggestions above and let us know if this helps resolve your problem. If there is anything more we can do to assist you, please feel free to post it in the group.

In the end I've copied the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses hive in its entirety from a Win98 PC that works ok and installed it into the defective PC. That cured it. Isn't there a simple .reg file available with just the entry that's needed?

Hello Brian, I could not find a .reg file to send to you. One thing you may be able to do is to find out what key is being used when try to instantiate the control is to download RegMon from http://www.sysinternals.com. Run a trace on the Windows 98 computer that works while you instantiate the control. Then run a second trace on the computer where this does not work while trying to instantiate the control. You can save the traces as text files and then compare the two and see if that indicates the key with the problem. Then use the good computer to create a .reg file. I would also be curious to know if the version of Mscomct2.ocx is different on the computer where this works and the computer where it does not work.

Hi Brian, In what type of application are you attempting to use this control? Have you created an Access , FoxPro, or VB Runtime time application? If the application is packaged using the Packaging Wizard from either Visual Basic or from a version included with an edition of Office Developer, do you continue to encounter the licensing error after the packaged has been deployed on a target machine? You should also take a look at the following articles: 192693 BUG: License Error with ActiveX Control Added at run-time http://support.microsoft.com/?id=192693 Kind regards, Orlanzo Ross Microsoft Online Support Hi Billy Well, I tried running vb6cli.exe, but it kept telling me that vb6 runtime wasn't installed, even after I d/l'd and installed vbrun60.exe to be sure.

I had the same problem with the Common Dialog controls - if this is really the same you might have a problem. The problem was that MS would not allow any modifications to controls on machines that did not have a delvolopment license (i.e. have VB, VS, C++ installed). Although I was only working on a small project in MS Access, since Office does not quilify as an development liciense I had to switch to my machine that has VS .net installed just to work with the control. It does not effect where the database/application can be used, only that any time the control was modified you needed a system with a developers license. Hope this helps.
