I am a newbe to Visual Basic. I have downloaded a VB6 Enterprise edition on my computer and am trying to write programs to use the serial port output using MSComm.OCX. I receive this error message:
"License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment."
Some people on this forum have stated that I need the Professional edition. I was wondering if anyone of you experienced programmers could tell me if I could use cheaper alternatives like VB5 Professional. Also I noticed a cheaper VB6 Professional version being sold on Ebay that does not come with a license. Does not require a product key and was used in a test lab environment. Could I use this?
