Background : I have an older version of labview professional development system I purchased relatively cheap and have transferred ownership correctly. I am also looking to start up on my own as a Certified LabVIEW Developer within the next couple of months. CLAD already achieved and pending the CLD exam in December. I have now got the opportunity to upgrade the license for a reasonable price to get LabVIEW 2018 Professional Development system. I was wondering if we could discuss the pros and cons of if it is a good idea to have a personal copy? I was thinking it would be good to have the application builder as I would want to sell custom built executables myself. Is there a market for this? I know ordinarily most contractors would not have their own version of labview, especially the pro dev system, as the customer would usually supply the licenses.

Not quite. At the moment, NIPM is just used to install NI "packages". But it is going to be used to install third-party packages in the near future (assuming the timelines I was given hold up) and much more.
