The information in this article applies to:

The Microsoft OLE Control Developer's Kit (CDK), version 1.0

Chapter 10, "Licensing Your Control," pages 174-175 of the OLE CDK Programmer's Guide lists the source code changes necessary to customize the licensing of an OLE Control. It fails to mention that the coclass entry in the .ODL file for the control must be modified to contain the "licensed" keyword.

A standard .ODL coclass entry for an OLE Control is:

[uuid(973B27A3-F232-101A-B57B-00608CC96AFA),helpstring("My Licensed Control")] coclass MyLicensed

This should be amended to:

[uuid(973B27A3-F232-101A-B57B-00608CC96AFA),licensed,helpstring("My Licensed Control")] coclass MyLicensed
