HOWTO: Licensing in Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer uses a "License Package", or also known as a .lpk file, to manage ActiveX control licensing. Use the lpk_tool.exe utility to create this file. You can use the lpk_tool utility to add multiple components into one license file. The utility also specifies the name and location for the resulting .lpk file.

Create an .lpk file and add the following lines to your web pages.

<!-- This .lpk file contains licensing for DynamiCube. To create an .lpk file with your license 
key, please use Microsoft's lpk_tool.exe program.-->

<OBJECT "clsid:5220CB21-C88D-11cf-B347-00AA00A28331">
<PARAM NAME="LPKPath" VALUE="DynamiCube.lpk">

</OBJECT>

<!-- Change the CODEBASE value to point to the DynamiCube .cab file on your server.-->

<OBJECT classid="clsid:6D63F73D-3688-3000-9C0F-00A0C90F29FC" id="DCube1" width="600" height="200" codebase="DCube3.cab" standby="Please wait while the DynamiCube control is loaded.">
</OBJECT>
