Uninstall NI Logos or change the UDP port it is using

[Sudharsan62]

I have been working on application which uses UDP port number 5000. There is a conflict with lkcitdl.exe which uses the same port. It is not easy to change the port number that the application is using. I would like to know if there is an option to uninstall NI Logos (lkcitdl.exe is a part of Logos) or not install it at all in the first place. 

I would ideally wish to uninstall it completely. At the least, is there an option to change the port number by these NI services?

Hello, 

Yes, it is possible to uninstall the logo.

Please do following:

1. Click the Windows Start Button. In Windows 8, look for Control Panel.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Click Uninstall a program.
4. Look for National Instruments Logos in the list of available programs.
5. Click Uninstall.

Hi,

In Control panel, you could uninstall NI Softwares installed on your PC. But not NI Logos. NI Logos is not a standalone software. So the solution you had suggested will not work.

Thanks

I have a found a solution to change the port number allocated to these NI services. We could make a registry entry to specify the port range allocated for NI Logos services.

Also possible to modify Logos Ports:

HKLM\Software\National Instruments\Logos\Ports

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\National Instruments\Logos\Ports

(be aware that 64-bit Windows maintains separate entries for 64-bit and 32-bit processes)

In Ports: 

FirstClientPort REG_DWORD 7000 (dez)

FirstServerPort REG_DWORD 8000 (dez)

This was useful for me because I wanted to install Sentinel Protection driver and could not because of this problem.

After modifying in registry and restart, it worked!
