With LabVIEW 2025 Q3, we published a Docker image for LabVIEW for Linux.
With LabVIEW 2026 Q1, we are adding support for LabVIEW for Windows. In addition, LabVIEW will have a "headless" mode (i.e., without UI), which it will use in the Docker container.
When LabVIEW is running in "headless" mode, it will not require any license activation. This feature will enable easier setup of CI/CD pipelines.
There is a Beta Docker image (LabVIEW 2026 Q1 Beta for Windows) now available at nationalinstruments/labview - Docker Image.
