Subscription Service OCX

We currently sell our application. And very successfully.

We are considering moving from a 'sell it outright' environment to a
'subscription service' environment - much like McAfee does.

Do you know of any OCX or other type of software we could integrate into our
VB6 application that would manage the subscription service?

Thanks,
Larry Rebich

Mike: Thanks for the great answer. By replying to my message with your cute
comment I will most likely not get an answer from someone who can help.
