Winsock Licensing Error .NET

Whenever I attempt to insert a winsock control into my form, it says this exactly:

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

Can someone help me on this? Its annoying, because all the other controls work fine. I am using Visual Basic.NET.

Thanks!

AFAIK Winsock is only licensed on Professional and Enterprise eversions

After running regsvr32 on mswinsck.ocx and comcat.dll you must double click on winsock.reg . This is the actual licensing part. You may also need MSWINSCK.OCA installed in the system dir.

you can also often go to a machine that works properly, find the license in the registry, and manually create the same license key in the target machine.

Where is winsock.reg? I did regsvr32 on both of those files, but cannot locate the reg file.

*bump*

Please, someone help me with this. I am using the enterprise version of VS.NET. Winsock will not work

Hi,

Using winsock in .Net is not the best idea. I would suggest that you use sockets FAQ: An Introduction to the .Net Socket Class


HTH - WWJD?

I had the same problem. You have to add vb6controls.reg to your registry. You can find vb6controls.reg on vs.net cd4 extras\vb6 controls. Good luck!

Yeah I have had the same problem, don' t know exactly what to do.
