* IE update for ActiveX Control activation *
Microsoft has posted some update info here.
This change (to comply with the EOLAS judgement) applies to 'interactive' controls that render a user interface on the page.
ScriptX is a non-visual control, so works exactly the same (with no changes required to any tag or script) before or after installation of that patch.
Both our own in-depth testing and feedback from our customers confirms this.

ScriptX licensing is available for various types of deployment:
Client-side licensing is required where you wish to serve fully-functional ScriptX-enabled content to your Internet, intranet and extranet users & visitors for them to print to a local or networked printer.
The only exception to this is where basic ScriptX printing functionality is sufficient for your needs. The VeriSigned smsx.cab - available from the download archive - does not need 'advanced' licensing and is freely distributable for client-side deployment.
Server-side licensing is required where ScriptX is to be used with Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) and Active Server Pages to print HTML documents on the server side.
An Active Server Page (ASP) may handle an HTTP GET or POST request and print a report (a different HTML page) as part of some server-side application logic. In this case, the print-out will take place on the server side and will go to a printer which is physically attached or networked to the server. The browsing user who originated the HTTP request may not ever see the printed output nor know that printing has taken place.
Application licensing is available when you wish to incorporate licensed ScriptX functionality into a single Windows (VB, VB.NET/C#, etc) executable.
The licensing schemas are different and do not interact. They -- together with MeadCo's MaxiPT custom Print Template licensing -- are described more fully in the following sections.
