Cloning computers with LabView installed?

[alee100]

Hello, I am a tech that has to upgrade 12 Windows 7 computers to Windows 10 Pro. I have never worked with LabView before. Can I just upgrade one computer to Windows 10 Pro, pull an image, then use that image on the other 11 computers or will this FUBAR LabView? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

In my experience, if you have a working PC image with LabVIEW and then image it onto another PC it will work but it will require license reactivation, because activation is tied to the hardware signature of the PC it's activated on.  It's not terribly difficult.

This might be different if you have a company license server though, I haven't tried through that server.

I believe Kyle97330 is basically correct.  The only other consideration is how different are the Windows 7 PCs in terms of Hardware, especially DAQ boards.  If it's a Class or Teaching Lab installation with basically identical hardware, and all of the original machines were licensed, I would expect this to work.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like my original plan is good. I will upgrade one of the computers from 7 to 10 Pro, confirm everything is working, then pull an image and use that image on the other 11 computers. From what you said I will need to re-activate LabVIEW.

Thanks,
