  Hello,
  
  I’ve inherited an older vb6 application with an older version of ActiveReports as the report tool.
  
  We’ve purchased a license for ActiveReports 14, downloaded, installed and activated the software.
  
  I’ve also downloaded and installed ar2pro2501322, but there is no way to activate the software and I’m also getting an “actbar.ocx” error when attempting to view a report.
  
  I could use a little guidance on how to activate the older version and fix the ocx issue.
  
  Attached are the messages I’m receiving in the developer interface.

  Hello,

  ActiveReports and ActiveBar are different products.

  Also, ActiveBar had declared as a legacy product a long time ago and it is out of development mode. Hence, we don’t provide support for ActiveBar.

  However, you can download the last version of ActiveBar from the following link:
  
  http://download.componentone.com/pub/esd/ab3.zip

  Also, please find the following link to have more information on ActiveBar3:

  Thanks,

  it appears that running the update utility “arupsizer.exe” to convert the dsr files removes the actbar issue.
