We have been running an Enterprise application for about 4 years using Visual Basic 6 and SQL Server 2000 (yes old technology but it has been fine). We have never had a problem compiling the .EXE and .DLLs until now. During our recent update, the .EXE appeared to compile correctly but during the writing of the .EXE we received the following error message:
License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment.
We have not added any new ActiveX controls. We do have Crystal reports in the Designer folder of the VB project. We are using Crystal Reports 8.5. I checked the Knowledge Base and it seems that this error occurs when first putting controls on a form, which is not our situation. I've tried the VB6Cli.exe utility that fixes design-type licenses for ActiveX controls in VB6, and reinstalled Crystal Reports, but that didn't correct the problem. The Microsoft Knowledge Base, user forums, and Google weren't much help either. Please give us suggestions for a fix since this is a real show-stopper for us right now.
