Server.CreateObject fails with Class is not licensed

[AppSpecialist]

I am using the microsoft internet transfer control and VBScript and visual interdev on my local machine.

When I run the ASP page from my local website on personal computer... everything works fine... however, I run the ASP page from the production server and I get an error stating class is not licensed??? This error occurs on the line where I issue the server.createobject command.

Why is this so? I have copied the ocx up to the web server and registered it?

Thanks

The ITC is a licensed control. Simply copying & registering it is not a successful deployment.

You'll need to create an ActiveX DLL that encapsulates the ITC.

Then copy the ITC OCX, and your DLL to the server and register them both.

Your ASP pages will then instantiate your DLL object, not the ITC directly.

There is a KB article in the MSDN that explains this in more detail. Sorry, I dont have the URL handy. Head over to the MSDN and do a search for INTERNET TRANSFER CONTROL ASP PAGE LICENSE, all words. Jon Hawkins
