Microsoft Visual Basic: "Cannot load control; license not found"

205| Mon, 02 Jun 2008 08:43:00 GMT| anonymous| Comments (4)
Hi Folks,

I am being asked to take "ownership" of another developer's VB6 app.
When I try to open up the project and look at certain forms, I get an
"Errors during load" message which refers me to a log file. In the log
files I get errors something like:

Line 53: Cannot load control [control name]; license not found.

Can anyone shed any light on what the problem might be?

Thanks,
Tom

It's pretty much like the message says... VB can't find license information
for that control. If you would mention what type of control that is, we may
be able to help. If it's something that's shipped with VB, there are KB
articles that will eliminate the problem. If it's a 3rd party control,
you're stuck until you contact the vendor.

Most likely he has a third party control that he purchased.
You need to install that control in your computer.
Open the vbp project with notepad, see what controls
are in the projects.
If it is not third party, then you need to unregister
the control giving the error, restart computer then
register it.
