Why doesn't the Web Builder from PG5 2.0 find the license?

FAQ #101585

 

Symptom
The following error appears when attempting to open the Web Builder from PG5 2.0 (on a Windows XP PC, 32bit):

“No license found on this computer, will run in DEMO mode. Limit is 2 HTML pages on the project”

Reason
The cause of this problem is that the library "SCRRUN.DLL" was not registered in Windows for some reason.

Solution
The SCRRUN.DLL can be registered by using the command "REGSVR32" from Microsoft Windows. "REGSVR32" (Microsoft© Register Server) is a command-line utility present in the Windows operating systems for registering and unregistering DLLs and ActiveX controls in the Windows Registry. The missing scrrun.dll is a Microsoft Script Runtime DLL Library.

Procedure for registering SCRRUN.DLL

• Open a Command Prompt (Start Menu --> Run --> COMMAND) and press ENTER
• Change directory to the WINDOWSSYSTEM: For XP systems, this is normally the folder:
  C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32
• Type the following command:
  REGSVR32 SCRRUN.DLL and then press ENTER
• You should see a successful confirmation message. If not, make sure you typed the command correctly (and that the command is executed in the correct directory).
