Can the OCX file be distributed “royalty free”?
The .ocx file for the control can be distributed royalty free but the licence file (extension .lic) cannot be distributed. In a compiled application where an executable file is produced (such as Visual Basic or Delphi) the licensing is quite simple. Each developer using the control at design time needs a copy of the .lic file and so depending on the number of developers the single user, 5 user or site licence is required. When the control is used client side in a web browser application the .lic file remains on the server and is packed into a Licence Package File (.lpk). See the answer to question 2 below for more details on this. The number of servers that can have the control installed determines whether the single user, 5 user or site licence is required. (“Site” means company location not web site in this context). The .ocx file can be supplied to each client and there is no restriction on the number of clients. Note that the trial version also has a .lic file so any deployment can
