ActiveX control does not work on IE11 as Microsoft no longer allows ActiveX plugins to run in its browser space.However if you are having 54 bit operating system you can try by forcing IE to run in 32-bit mode by adding the registry key as given below -

change the registry entry here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth

Set it to something greater than 0 and restart IE11
