Can I program using Labview without HW from NI?

I am a newbie about LV. So I ask the simple question:
Can I program using Labview without HW from NI?

You can not only program in LabVIEW without hardware from NI, but you can program without hardware period. You can also write programs for other brands of hardware. You can even program for NI hardware with other programming languages.

Get some training, and a copy of "LabVIEW for Everyone" before you get too far. These are great resources for learning LabVIEW.

Yes you can but make sure that the manufacturer says that their
hardware can be accessed from LV in some manner.

You certainly can. Of course NI hardware was designed to be used with LabVIEW so it will have the most integrated support and likely be the easiest to program.
