Does your control use any constituent controls that require a license key
AND are you adding your control dynamically? If the answer to both those
questions is "yes", then your control must require a license key. You
should be able to manually add the license key to the Licenses collection if
you want. See the following:

If the answer to either or both questions is "no", then I don't have any
definite suggestions. You might have to turn binary (or project)
compatibility off, recompile, and then set binary compatibility again.
That's just a guess. More information would be helpful, such as what
constituent controls you're using, how your control is used (placed on a
container or dynamically added, for example), and the exact error message
and number.

You might want to search the KB yourself, as there are a few more issues
related to ActiveX controls and licensing.
