Redistribute CDO 1.21 to Test Environment |
|
|
Hi guys,
We are taking over development of a web application which utilises CDO
1.21 on the App Server to support messaging via Exchange. Each
development (desktop) machine has an Office license and so is covered
for use of CDO (installed with Outlook). The question is, are we
allowed to redistribute the CDO DLL as part of our installation package
onto our system test environment or do we need a separate license for
Outlook on the test environment? Note, we are not concerned about
licensing on the production environment as this is the responsibility
of our customer, this query only relates to use of CDO in a test
environment which does not have Office/Outlook installed.

CDO 1.21 is never redistributable.

You can only ever get CDO.DLL as part of an Outlook install, so you'd
have to install Outlook on the machine in question. (and have the
relevant number of access licenses to the server).
Even if you did just copy cdo.dll onto a machine, it won't be any use
without the rest of the infrastructure there that it uses, and the only
way to get that is with Outlook.
An alternative is to install the Exchange admin tool onto your test
machine -- that gives you the subsystems CDO.DLL uses and a (non-
security-patch-crippled) version of CDO.DLL, but you'll still need a
client access license on the server for that machine's connection.
That still doesn't let you distribute things as part of _your_ install,
though, it's a requirement before your install starts up.
http://www.microeye.com/resources/itemsCB.htm
has a sample bit of code that contains stuff on how to force the
install of CDO1.21 into an Outlook install that doesn't have it there,
which may be useful.
