standalone application (You must have a license to use this ActiveX control)

I am developing a stand alone application, on my developing machine (win 7, VS 2010) works fine, problem comes to run it under testing machine with arcmap license only.
I get the exeption:

in license properties select the reqquired product license (ArcEditor).

Dear people from the future: Here is what we've figured out so far......

Hi imadalhomsi

Did you solve this problem?

I have a similar situation, also with a stand alone application, but in my case, i am using an ArcGIS Runtime Engine License.

I try to instantiate the object by code, and verify the license in the same way (code)....Everything works fine in the developer environment, when I install the application in the test environment, it collapse when I run the application:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]11325[/ATTACH]

I check prerequisites, and there is no difference between the two environments.

checking the net, i found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326652/en-us but i don get the reason of why this is happening.

Any comment or help would be appreciated
