Barcode ActiveX provides a convenient way to find out what type of license your application requires to create the object. Invoke the About method at run time of your application. The method pops up the About dialog. The License Information section tells the license type your application uses. When the barcode object is created with a runt-time license, it displays:
Object created with run-time license. No design-time license is required to run your application.
The license information section also displays the license name when such information is avaiable.
