INFO: ActiveX Controls that Require Run-Time Licenses Are Not Supported in MMC

• Microsoft Management Console, versions 1.1, 1.2

SUMMARY

MMC does not support IClassFactory2, therefore MMC cannot instantiate controls that require runtime licenses. This behaviour is by-design in all versions of MMC up to and including 1.2.

MORE INFORMATION

A workaround is to create an ActiveX control that wraps the ActiveX control that requires the runtime license. The ActiveX control wrapper would need to expose any methods or properties that are need to be accessed from the Snap-in.
