license file never validates as true

[Jon Paal]

Cannot get license file to validate to "valid" - what is missing ?

'================ page file - default.aspx =============
<%@ Page Language="vb" Debug="true"%>
<%@ Import Namespace="Namespace1" %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load
'initialize the license
'----------------------------
try
Dim oThis as class1 = New Namespace1.Class1
lbl1.Text = "object created, license is valid"
catch e as exception
lbl1.Text = "<br>License is not valid.<br>Please, contact the manufacturer of the component for more information"
end try
End Sub
</script>
<asp:Label id="lbl1" runat="server" />

'================ control file - Mycontrol.vb - in App_code folder =============
