During the installation process, the user is prompted for the serial number that is saved on the system. (Users can also enter the serial number by clicking the <strong>License</strong> button on the <strong>About Box</strong> of any ComponentOne product, if available, or by rerunning the installation and entering the serial number in the licensing dialog.)</p> <p>ActiveX licensing is handled transparently by .NET in C#.NET and VB.NET, so special consideration is not required when adding ActiveX controls to a form or user control in .NET.</p> <p>However, if you put an unlicensed version of the control on a form, or you wish to change licenses, you must remove the old control and add it back again to get the new licensing. The behavior is identical to that of a VC++ project using an ActiveX control.</p> <p>For information on dynamically adding ActiveX controls that require run-time licenses, see the <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?query=activex+control+dynamic+license" target="_blank">Microsoft Support site</a>.</p> <p>All ComponentOne products are designed to display licensing information if the product is not licensed. None will throw licensing exceptions and prevent applications from running.</p> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
