License information not found
David Bubenik
Learning Edition, I get the message:" License information for this
component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this
functionality in the design environment." Does this mean that MSComm
control is not available in the Learning Edition, or do I have another
problem? If the former, is there a list somewhere of what is and is not
available in the Learning Edition?
Klaus H. Probst
AFAIK, the learning edition does not include the Comm control. Does it? If
it doesn't, then you certainly don't have a license to use it in the
design environment.

and registered and in the Components - Controls box looking ready to go.
That's how I got the no-license message in the first place -- I tried to put
it on a form. I can't think of another way to get that message. Can you?

Hmmm... in that case, try downloading the fix for the licensing problems
from the VB site at msdn.microsoft.com. I forget the name (and obviously
don't have a link), but it shouldn't be too hard to find. Maybe Galen has
the link -- he's been posting MSDN links like crazy the past couple of
weeks <g> Galen?

I seem to remember there's a similar fix for VB6, but I might be wrong on
that one.
Thanks Galen! ;-)

OK. I downloaded and ran VB6Cli.exe successfully, but the MSComm control
still won't run. So, apparently it was indeed shipped with VBLE by mistake. (For
a while I thought Ol' Bill had done an unannounced enhancement. Nope. Just a
teaser.)
Many thanks to Kalus and Galen for the detective work.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I have Office 97 Pro and ODE installed
on my system, and I can use the Comm control just fine. However, I
cannot use it on another person's computer. That is, my Excel app,
which uses MSCOMM32.OCX, can run just fine on my computer, but on nobody
else's. The other computer I am trying to get it to run on is almost
exactly the same setup: Win98, Office 97 Pro, and even ODE. The only
difference I can think of, is that I tried installing SR-1 and SR-2 on
my system. However, SR-1 did not install cleanly, and SR-2 was adamant
about not installing itself on my system (stupid patches!). Why on
earth would MS ship MSCOMM32.OCX with Office 97 or ODE without a
license??? I see no purpose in that. And why would it work sometimes,
but not others??? Death to MS! I almost feel like sending money to the
Justice Department. ;>

I had the same problem except with the dbgrid. Here's an artical I found on
the install disk that helped me to resolve the problem.
\Tools\Controls
This directory contains all of the ActiveX Controls that shipped with Visual
Basic 4.0/5.0 Professional and Enterprise Editions, which are no longer
shipping
with Visual Basic 6.0.
AniBtn32.ocx
Gauge32.ocx
Graph32.ocx
Gsw32.EXE
Gswdll32.DLL
Grid32.ocx
KeySta32.ocx
MSOutl32.ocx
Spin32.ocx
Threed32.ocx
MSChart.ocx
The \Tools\Controls\BiDi directory contains a Bi-directional version of
Grid32.Ocx.
If you have Visual Basic 5.0 Professional or Enterprise Editions installed on
your machine, you should already have these ActiveX controls available to you
in
Visual Basic 6.0.
Graph32.ocx has been updated to work properly in Visual Basic 6.0 and it
requires two additional support files: gsw32.exe and gswdll32.dll. You must
place the three files together in the \Windows\System directory or the control
will not function properly.
If you do not have these controls and wish to use these in Visual Basic 6.0,
you
can install them by:
1. Copy all of the files in this directory to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
2. Register the controls by either Browsing to them in Visual Basic itself, or
manually register them using RegSvr32.Exe. RegSvr32.EXE can be found in the
\Tools\RegistrationUtilities directory. The command line is:
regsvr32.exe grid32.ocx
3. Register the design time licenses for the controls. To do this, merge the
vbctrls.reg file found in this directory into your registry. You can merge
this
file into your registry using RegEdit.Exe (Win95 or WinNT4) or RegEd32.Exe
(WinNT3.51):
regedit vbctrls.reg (or other reg files associated with the controls)
