NI Volume License Manager and NI Update Service.

[FranzS]

Hallo,

I have detected a small but cumbersome problem witch at the end of the day can grow to a problem with heavy impact related to security updates.

In the actual release, the NI Volume License Manager can disable the NI Update Service on the client machines if the Administrator of the Volume License Manager sets the option “Disable NI Update Service on all client machines”.

Now, for example, there is a scenario on witch clients get the License for a DIAdem installation from the NI Volume License Server and get the License for a LabVIEW installation from the local License Manager.

The problem is, that the user cannot update his LabVIEW application using the NI Update Service because it is blocked by the administrator of the NI Volume License Manager for the DIAdem installations.

There should be the possibility to disallow the Updates by Products instead of disallow the whole NI Update Service.

With best regards

Franz
