Product Activation Busted today (Did someone forget a Lakshmi puja?)

[JÞB]

Lakshmi pujaMy NI is experiencing failure to activate.  I get No "Me" on MyNI

  The Activation wizard is not activating

So I tried the link....

So I tried the link....

And guess what? It didn't contact anyone at NI!  All I got was a new tab in my browser (What is the emoji for " Smiley colon Beat myself with a hammer until I LIKE it"  (Way Off Topic butt<sic> why is it smiley colon?  in English that sounds wrong)

On Topic  What ever happened to the "Call Me Now button? I miss it so much.

 Off topic again (I can digress all DAY since I can't do anything USEFUL until you fix the activation issues)

Or, was that ON Topic?????

I'm confused but I hope someone laughs

Hi Jeff,

Are you still seeing this issue? There were some site issues earlier this morning that you may have encountered. Have you tried clearing your cache/cookies to see if that helps? You could test this by opening in Incognito Mode.

Thanks,

Lili

Yes.  I'm Still not activating

Oh  AND The NI Update Service is wonky too! I actually need to have https://www.ni.com/en/support/security/available-critical-and-security-updates-for-ni-software.html open in a browser to find updates  (I'm not having a great day Lili)

[LiliMcDonald]

Thanks for the update. We have escalated this internally to help track down the issue.

UPDATE!

After running the NI Update Service (And updating the update service) Mind Blown there.

NI License Manager 4.0 showed up

YEA! Whoopee!  Oh, Lili.... All of this stuff is obsolete now! 

Pressing ye olde Activate Software button Only generates a "Activation Warning" for every product and fails to activate anything

Me, Being the super genius I am, then Left the default "Product Summary" View and selected the Local Licenses View

I clicked My Latest installed LabVIEW Dev System (In this case LV 2016 Pro x32) right- clicked and chose "Activate"

Wouldn't you know it.  By choosing to try to activate 1 of the 16 installed products ALL 16 Activated like "Magic"

Its a good thing I am completely insane!  Nobody "Normal" would have figured out WTH NI is doing!!!!!

Man 
I need Kudos for that
