I am very new to VB.net. I am trying to use the MSComm control to handle the serial port. When I try to use it I get an "you do not have a license to use this active-X control" error.
Why is this?

Same problem here. I was never able to find an adequate answer.
Some MS's controls are not for redistributable with applications . I know it doesn't make sense but this is how I got it from some website a while ago .
Ugh! I really wanted to use this control.
Thanks for the feedback.

:sick:
See if this is of any use:

The MSComm control is not licensed for use with .Net. It is only deployed with VB5/VB6, there is no comm type control available by default with .NET. Therer is a wrapper OCX out there that wraps the MSComm control so you can use it in .NET.
I have never used it, but there have been a few threads about it in google groups.
