What is VB6Cli.exe?
VB6Cli.exe is a utility that is designed to fix design-time
license problems with ActiveX Controls that ship with Microsoft Visual Basic
6.0. The utility does not fix third-party controls or controls that are not
normally installed by Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, nor does it enable the use of
Remote Data Object (RDO) objects in Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Edition. If
you try to use RDO in Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Edition, you may also
encounter symptoms II and IV below. The only way to enable RDO is to install
Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Edition.
VB6Cli.exe will help correct
problems with the following symptoms:
Symptom I
When trying to site a control within a project, Microsoft Visual
Basic raises the following error dialog:
License
Information For This Component Not Found. You Do Not Have An Appropriate
License To Use This Functionality In The Design Environment.
Symptom II
When trying to compile a project, Microsoft Visual Basic raises
the following error dialog:
Compile Error : Permission
Denied
Symptom III
When using the Application Wizard, Microsoft Visual Basic raises
an error dialog similar to:
60: Method ~ of Object ~
failed
Symptom IV
When trying to run a project, Microsoft Visual Basic raises the
following error dialog:
Runtime Error '429' : ActiveX
Component Can't Create Object

How do I use VB6Cli.exe?
VB6Cli.exe requires that an edition of Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
be installed on the system where the utility is going to be used.
Before running the VB6Cli.exe utility, make sure there are no other
applications running.
Simply double-click on VB6Cli.exe through the
Windows Explorer. The utility detects Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, and installs
the required design-time licenses for the edition detected.
If
successful, you will see a dialog box similar to the following:
"Enterprise Design Licenses Have Been Installed Successfully"
VB6Cli.exe also offers a silent mode. Running the VB6Cli.exe from
a command prompt with a "/q" will run the utility without any user interface.
Result codes can be captured and used by other applications to test if the
licenses were installed.
