Starting LabVIEW using a specific user / license

[Oli_Wachno]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a Jenkins Build server but I'm facing a licensing problem. LabVIEW can not find a valid license when started by Jenkins.

Neither a license directly from the server nor a disconnected license we created especially to try.

I have tried to start the Jenkins service with my user credentials, but this does not improve the situation.

Is there a possiblity to start LabVIEW within a specific user context? Sth like LabVIEW.exe -user:JohnDoe to enable correct license retrieval?

Cheers

Oli

So to answer your question, it is not possible to change the license by a specific LabVIEW Call.

The licenses are stored in the license manager or an Volume license server.

There they can be activated. 

Normally you will use a computer based license if several users are using LabVIEW on the same machine.
