Components: What you need to use Third Party Licensing & Activation

In order to use the licensing toolkit, you will need the following:

  1. LabVIEW 2011 or later
    The Third Party Licensing & Activation Toolkit is available for LabVIEW 2011 and later. If you'd like to evaluate LabVIEW, visit ni.com downloads

    SoftwareKey provides an evaluation copy of Protection Plus on their website.  Note:  Protection Plus is only required when licensing an add-on in Advanced mode or using the licensing API.  For more information on which licensing method to use, please read Choosing the Correct Licensing Method in LabVIEW Third Party Licensing & Activation Toolkit

Known Issues:

Trial DLLs installed by evaluation versions of Protection Plus. If you  install the trial version of Protection Plus, this installs the trial  versions of KeyLib32.dll and skca32.dll to the windows system32 folder  (SysWow64 on 64 bit machines). If this happens, replace these DLLs with  the ones installed by the Licensing & Activation Toolkit  (<LabVIEW>\resource\)
