when the load event fires, you aren't guaranteed that all the controls
on the form have already been drawn and in some cases the setfocus
throws an error so it's common practice moving the "setfocus" into the
"Activate" event; to avoid repeating the setfocus over and over just
add a static boolean variable and use it as a semaphore; for example

Sub Form_Activate()
  Static bFirstTime As Boolean

  If Not bFirstTime Then
    bFirstTime = True
    txtLicenseKey.SetFocus
  End If
End Sub
