Now wouldn't that be "interesting".  An annual subscription fee, but no updates...

Well, but entirely within the meaning of the subscription fee. You don't pay it to get updates and support, you pay it to be allowed to use the software at all, updates or no updates makes no difference, although I'm sure users will quickly get a bad feeling when there won't be any updates anymore.

But with a subscription you can't stop paying if you want to keep using the software, no matter how dissatisfied you are with the actual service.

Unfortunately, not.  It was just a simple web site maintenance.

Disappointed enough:-).

hopefully LV2021 SP1 can come out Mar/Apr.

It looks like its available through NI Package Manager, but not through their website right now.

From the 2021 SP1 release notes. It mystifies me how every new LabVIEW release continues to be rolled out in this ad hoc and incomplete fashion. NI need to up their game, especially now that LabVIEW is subscription only.
