on the MSDN page for the VB.NET resource kit (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/default.aspx[^]) there are 4 options at the top, one of which is "If you already have the Visual Basic .NET Resource Kit CD, sign up to receive your ComponentOne Studio Enterprise license key e-mail. (United States, outside the United States).", this goes to http://www.vbrkit.net/[^] for people in the USA or http://www.vbrkit.net/?=ww[^] outside the USA, after completing this form you are emailed a license key which you then have to register on the C1 website.
