I have VB5 Professional (part of Visual Studio) installed on an NT machine.
I just converted from win95 to NT.  Now when I try to use some of the
professional edition custom controls (like Sheidan's 3-D controls) I get an
error saying that I'm not licensed for them.  They all worked just fine when
I had VB installed on Win95.

I suspect that the problems lies in the registry, but I have no idea of how
to go about fixing it.  Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

I think the reason is because THREED32 is no longer considered (by MS)
a standard part of VB5 (and setup presumably doesn't bother to install it at
all !)

Have a look in the readme file I've attached (it came from e:\entrpris\tools\c
ontrols\readme.txt on my installation CD). It basically tells you to copy the
Sheridan OCX files to the windows\system directory, register them yourself
& then setup the licensing using 'regedit vbctrls.reg'

Once I'd followed the instructions in the readme.txt file it cured it for me !
