Info: Fixing VB6 control licence issues
i just ran into a control license error.. seemingly at random :confused:. after a search of the forums, i found that no one really addressed the issue. people simply ended up re-installing VB 5/6 with mixed results (which is what i was getting ready to do).
i managed to find microsoft's official response, and a little utility they made that fixes the problem.
the page can be found here

i highly suggest you download and archive this article and the utility. knowing MS, this page could be deleted forever at any time.
