App says "Evaluation Copy" but ActiveX controls are not evaluation copies.

[mrtommyb]

App has been running for 3+ years in a Win95 machine. Just moved to Win98 machine and now "Evaluation Copy" appears in app. I have copied the two OCX files from the Win95 machine and registered them on the new machine. I purchased ComponentWorks 3 years ago - I never had evaluation copies of these OCX files. Could this be a Win95 to Win98 problem?

I doubt that this is a Windows problem; there are several reasons why an ActiveX control could turn to evaluation mode (see KB link below). I would suggest that you uninstall the OCX controls from your new computer and instead run the ComponentWorks installer for proper installation/registration.
If you have version 3.x or later of the CW controls, you could also run the Measurement Studio License Fixer Utility found in the following Knowledgebase article:

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/86256A47004E16D186256A99007BEFB7?OpenDocument

This utility will help you diagnose the license state of your controls and will try to fix any broken licenses. Please read the KB carefully as it may not apply to your particular setup.
