Error: "You do not have a license to use this ActiveX control."

[kelisalee]

Hi,

I made a program in vb.NET. When i copy the .exe together with BIN folder to other machine / PC and run the .exe, I get an error saying "You do not have a license to use this ActiveX control.". The PC has .NET Framework installed. The necessary DLL already copied to BIN folder.

The involved DLL that prompted me error is
- AxInterop.MSChartLib
Assembly Version: 1.1.0.0
Win32 Version: 1.1.0.0

What should i do? Is the licenses.licx needed? How to generate this file?

Please advise. I would appreciate it if anyone could help. Thanks.

Regards,
Lee

I probably don't understand you question very well but will take a shot at it.

You must compile your program into an .msi file and I use the free Advanced
Installer program. Once you have the .msi, you can install/setup the program by a click on it from any
Windows PC greater than 95 that has the free Windows Installer 3.1 installed
and also the .Net Framework 2.0 ( could in some cases use 1.0).

There may be a way to transfer an exe as you have described but I've never heard of it.

In order to use some of the third party controls you have to buy those dlls from the vendor and they will give the license file. If you used those third party controls for evaluation I think when evaluation period expires it will ask for a new license file??
