Hi - when running a VI in Labview for an extended period of time, I would like to set my hardware into a safe mode if the LabView license server goes down. Is there a way to detect this in the VI? And if so, do I have time to issue one last set of commands before LabView stops working?

Build the exe! You should not be running dependant on continuous connections to servers. An exe runs in the unlicensed LabVIEW RTE (Some tool-kits and addons have additional requirements)
Now as far as I know, the IDE queries the VLS at launch or when dynamically loading licensed toolkits and addons. I don't think there are periodic revalidations for licenses that do not expire. (And for those that do expire my experience is they are also only queried at launch)
- without specifics I can't really answer and, you should be contacting the License issuer directly since, any info I give you should not be the sole source for you adopting practices which may or may not comply with the terms of your license agreements.
