license not found error!!!
 

when i try 2 load an ocx control, i get an error message,

saying read the form1.log

in the log file it says, "license not found."

how 2 get rid of the error message and use the control.

thanx

The component is searching for a license, probably a file or registry entity.
Looks like you need to learn how to crack ActiveX controls. In anyway, Regmon/filemon utilities are enough for that situation. If you need more help, let me know.

Btw, what is the control?

its txtext control v12

i removed the nag....

just this thing is left

thanx

what regmon/filemon says about that?

filemon, didnt find anything.

while as far as regmon is concerned, it showed me just wot the program was accessing

nothing else fishy,,,, i checked out the clsid, licenses and other stuff...

it has 2 limitations,

1 nag showing 60 days trial, and secondly,

after 60 days, the control gives error message when loaded in vb ide.

i kicked the first limitation,,,, off...

the patched file is attached...

just the second limitation is left...

help needed!!!

download link for the soft:- _http://www.textcontrol.com/downloads/trials/txtrial_activex.zip

I downloaded both the trial and the patched DLL but Im unable to reproduce this msgbox. In delphi everything works fine. No nag, no msgbox.

Im using Delphi 7, not VB.

after replacing the patched dll, the messsage box doesnt appear.....

but still after 60 days, the license not found error comes,,, in vb ide

when i try 2 load the ocx in hte ide mode.

thanx

I tried to turn my clock forward, actually on December, and the Delphi IDE doesnt complain for a missing license or sth. As far as everything works here, you should ask someone else to run the ActiveX in the VB IDE.

Find ASCII TXSerialNoXXX and simply replace with for example TE-1234567890 a few bytes above is next string LR-... or something (explanation below)
DLL check S at third position.

TE- enterprise
TS- standard
TP- prof

Second look at registry check
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\...]
and a few lines below is string compare for your license.

Third patch where TE-1234567890 are compared with LR-..... or reverse checking routine.
