NI has identified non-genuine NI-branded GPIB devices sold through third-party online vendors and is committed to your safety and the integrity of your measurements. Beginning with version 17.6, the NI-488.2 driver supports the ability to recognize counterfeit GPIB devices. NI has intentionally removed NI-488.2 driver versions 1.0 through 17.0 from NI Downloads to enable you to quickly identify non-genuine devices so that you do not risk harm to yourself and others, can trust the quality of data in your applications, and are able to return the non-genuine devices and plan accordingly to your timelines.

NI is aware that not all applications can be upgraded to the latest version of the NI-488.2 driver. Please reach out to NI Support if you need access to an older version of the driver.

Workaround - download NI Device Drivers Feb 2015 - this contains 488.2 v14.0, I don't know if you can install this individually if not worst case, install all the drivers.

You can take this approach if you could not get NI support to share old version.
