Reinstaling Formula One component (TF1Book) in Delphi 2007, License Information for TF1Book not found error -



Reinstaling Formula One component (TF1Book) in Delphi 2007, License Information for TF1Book not found error -

i'm moving old project developed delphi 2007 , bunch of 3rd party components old computer own instalation. except tf1book component (from vcf132.ocx library, version 4.1.1.2) works fine. i'm using exact same version of delphi in new computer , same patches. (the older computer belongs developer left company , it's unavailable , unreachable)

the error i'm getting in design time, , in design time is:

license info tf1book not found. cannot utilize command in design mode.

so, can still compile , can edit .dfm form in notepad , works fine, in runtime, can't work within delphi.

please, note have read first 30 entrys each google search related problem, several variations. , of them says should run regsvr32 register ocx within windows , solve problem. also, of posts or blogs i've found way older, , they're talking version 3.x of component. using 4.1.1.2 version. other developer had in computer.

i repeated supposed procedure of placing vcf132.ocx on \windows\system32 or windows\syswow64 (for x64 windows) , run appropriate regsvr32 version register component in 3 computers: win 7 x86, win 7 x64, win 8 , winxp sp3 , got same result in of them.

i'm starting think real licensing issue, not ocx windows registering issues. actually, if don't register de ocx in windows error in delphi different, class not found or similar.

nobody else in company (a little 3 guys company) knows or remember how component acquired , hence can't find proper installer components.

though, researching windows registry in computer found info sort of registration process, user, company , serial number. there no ".lic" files associated ocx in old computer.

but far, i'm unable find such installer in computer. happy acquire new license, product not beingness sold anymore.

so, question. vcf132.ocx, version 4.1.1.2, knows/remember if there re-create protection or registration mechanisms forbid me move component other computer?

i used utilize component way when. recall, registering ocx gives runtime support. working @ designtime need run, on dev machine, installation programme vendor supplied.

i distinctly remember there .lic file installed onto each developer machine. should find them on old machines, i'm not sure whether can transferred.
