PowerPoint License

[Guest]

Question!
We used to run our VB6 program to generate PowerPoint slides and send them
to our clients through email. Now we need to do similar things through our
website. So client can login in and download the PPT file by click the
button. I can make it work by install MS office 2003 (We had license for the
MS office 2003) and the VB6 component which interfaces with PPT API component
msppt.olb. My question is that to we need any OTHER PowerPoint license for
our sever hosting the IIS 6? We only use the PPT API component, msppt.olb to
generate the PPT files.

Thanks,
Allan

Allan,

I suggest you contact MS directly concerning this. I doubt anyone here is
qualified to answer MS licensing questions.

If you're asking whether you need the full PowerPoint install in order to
generate slides, then yes. The OLB simply tells VB what methods/properties
PowerPoint offers. It doesn't give you any of PPT's functionality.
