Hello!

I'm trying to use a MSCOMM32.OCX in a MSSCRIPT.OCX. I have no control
over the MSSCRIPT, it's a 3:rd party software which is letting me
script it using the MSSCRIPT.OCX.

I can use the MSCOMM32 in the script by:

mscomm = CreateObject("MSCOMMLIB.MSCOMM.1")

but on a computer which hasn't Visual Studio installed I get a license
error.

How do I create a license for use in VBScript/MSSCRIPT.OCX?

From the command prompt, try REGSVR32 MSCOMM32.OCX. Worked for me.

We were confronted with the exact same problem. In theory it
is possible to create a wrapper around the mscomm32.ocx, but
we concluded that this was not a good decision from our business
perspective. Instead we moved to using the Sax Comm component
which proved to be virtually compatible, and costs only ~USD280.

Good luck,

You have to Install one of the following registry keys (I don't remeber
which is):

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\4250E830-6AC2-11cf-8ADB-00AA00C00905]
@="kjljvjjjoquqmjjjvpqqkqmqykypoqjquoun"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\2c49f800-c2dd-11cf-9ad6-0080c7e7b78d]
@="mlrljgrlhltlngjlthrligklpkrhllglqlrk"

And doing this is a clear and blatant violation of the license agreement!!!!!!
