The registration process referred to here is not related to licensing, it refers to the process of making the control known to the operating system. If you don't use an install program with this capability built-in, you can register your controls manually. From the Run option in the Windows 95 or Windows NT start menu, or from a command prompt, run the following command to register an ActiveX control:
regsvr32.exe "path and filename of the ActiveX control's OCX file"
You will then see a message box that either displays "LoadLibrary failed" or displays "LoadLibrary succeeded". If you get the success message, then the control is now registered on the machine and is ready for use by applications or in your development environment. If you get the failure message, make sure you specified a correct path and filename, and placed it in quotes if it has spaces in it.
If you are unable to register a fully-self contained ActiveX control on a target machine, even after following the instructions above, Xceed is currently aware of only one possible problem that may prevent proper registration of ActiveX controls. The problem applies to systems running the original release of Windows 95 or OSR1. If these machines don't have Internet Explorer v4.0 or up, then you will need to install DCOM 95 which will update the COM support for these machines. You can download DCOM 95 from Microsoft's web site at http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom95/dcom1_3.asp
