Depends which control(s) you are referring to.
Just because they exist on your system and COM has registered them, you may
not necessarily have a "design-time" license, only a 'run-time" license.
As such, they can be used in the app they were included with, but you cannot
develop/add them to new projects/workbooks.

There is also an issue with some MS controls and a recent security update:

although I would not expect a licensing error in this case.

Without an Admin account, you may find it difficult to fix the above
situation though.

Hi,

As soon as I try to put a control on my form, I get this message:
The control could not be created because it is not properly licensed

This is not the case with standard controls which are on the toolbar by
default (label, textbox, etc).

Please tell me how can I fix that problem? I don't have any administrative
permissions set in my account.
