Componentone Vsflexgrid 8 Serial Number: What You Need to Know About Licensing and Activation
nibbsonfundfeI downloaded the kit and installed the VSFlexGrid control and used it
within my project.
Now I have a need to update this particular project and so I've
installed VB 6 on my latest PC and retrieved a backup of the project.
Unfortunately I don't have the VSFlexGrid control installed on this PC
and I don't appear to have kept a backup of the VB .NET Resource Kit.
The VB .NET Resource Kit seems to have vanished from Microsoft's site
so I can't get it from there.
Does anyone know where I can download the VB .NET Resource Kit from?
Or anywhere else that I can get the VSFlexGrid 8 for free from?
Any help is gratefully received!

Did you try The Wayback Machine?

It'd be interesting to try contacting ComponentOne directly with your story, and see
how they reply. They very well may have a record of you having downloaded and
requested keys for it, and be willing to provide you with another download. Other
than that, I'm pretty sure only "*filter*" copies may be floating around, and I've
not even seen any of those for this.

Yeah I don't really want to go looking for a "cracked" copy or
anything illegal like that. I figure that I obtained it legally for
free before so if I can get it again from the same source then I
should remain all legal.
I do actually have access to the old PC that I had all my VB 6 stuff
installed on. I wonder if I can just copy certain files over? Or was
there a proper installation? It was so long ago that I can't
remember...

Do you still have the keys they sent? If so, I'd sure think anyone giving you the
bits would be simply providing an offsite backup restoration.

There were like 10 or 15 installations, as I recall. They really made it hard work
to take advantage of the offer.

Actually I do indeed still have the serial number they sent!
I've just tried sending Component One an email explaining the
situation and providing the serial number I had. We'll see if they
can do anything.

Surely /any/ serious developer would be more than willing to part with
800 bucks for the pleasure of acquiring Studio for ActiveX (in order
to use just one tool)?
The fact that these controls, when sold by VideoSoft, were actually
affordable by most devs individually, should not matter one jot.
ComponentOne must do a valiant job at marketing such a fabulous set of
ActiveX controls that they ought to be remunerated handsomely. In
fact, I'd go for the even more expensive 1100 dollar package that also
gives Platinum Support. After all, what's a thousand bucks nowadays?

If you have the .ocx on an old PC and you acquired it legally, what's
the problem?

I have already tried copying the .ocx file to my new PC and registered
it, but still I get a message about it not being licensed and that I
must enter a serial number otherwise it will only work for 30 days
(and keep bugging me for a serial number). It must store licensing
info somewhere. I've tried putting in the serial number that I was
originally given but it just says tha
