Hi SoftwareFX. Can you assist me? This is a tedious problem which probably has a simple (if unsupported) solution. We are fully licensed and we are not trying to subvert your licensing policy. We simply need to port this somewhat eccentric app to enable it to run under Win7.
I have created an AxHost implementation using aximp.exe. The ActiveX runs correctly when hosted in a WinForms control (I see the toolbar, etc) but I do not know how licensing has been implemented. I do not know how to interpret the help file comment that "This license file is actually read, not downloaded, by the browser". No matter what value I assign to the License property I never get past the "Downloading license, please wait" message.
Clearly my container needs to respond to a request from the ActiveX component to download and parse the .LIC file. It appears IClassFactory2 is not implemented so I am not sure how to proceed. I see a dependency on urlmon.dll so perhaps this plays a role?
The ActiveX version is shown as 5.5.14.0. Apologies if this post arrives as a duplicate - my attempt to post yesterday appears to have failed, but this may be because of a forum moderation queue.
Many thanks
