PRB: VideoSoft FlexArray OLE Control Licensing Problems

 * }

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * The FlexArray control
 * Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 4.1

-

SYMPTOMS
When you use the VideoSoft (third-party OLE control) FlexArray control, a dialog box appears that explains how to purchase a licensed version of this control. This dialog appears at design time when the control is inserted and at run-time when the control is displayed.

CAUSE
License checking is done when you insert the control into your application. If no license file is found, code is added to the application to bring up the dialog box explaining how to purchase a licensed version of this control.

The correct version of the license file did not ship with Visual C++ version 4.1.

RESOLUTION
To use this control in applications, you must obtain the correct license file from Microsoft. Follow the steps outlined below:

 Call Microsoft Product Support using the phone numbers provided in the product documentation.

NOTE: If your call concerns only this issue, your account is not decremented and you are not charged for this incident.  Inform the Support Professional that you are having licensing problems with the VideoSoft FlexArray OLE Control, and refer to this article: "Q150166 PRB: VideoSoft FlexArray OLE Control Licensing Problems" When you receive the appropriate license file from Microsoft, copy it to the \Windows\System directory.

NOTE: On Windows NT, copy it to the system32 directory. After adding the license file to your system, new projects can be developed that use this control without the license dialog being displayed. For an existing project, remove all FlexArray controls from any dialogs, then re-insert them and rebuild the application.
