Which kind of license do you have? Which modules are included?

At work we have a cDAQ-9174 which connects easily. For me to mess with at home and continue learning i purchased a cRIO-FRC II (9076)
I can't get it connected, even with MAX. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A cDAQ is recognized by installing DAQmx hardware drivers, while a cRIO needs to have the LabVIEW-RT module installed. For full usage of cRIOs you will also need the LabVIEW-FPGA module…
So to repeat my question: which LabVIEW version and which additional modules did you install at home? What is covered by your LabVIEW license?
Did you install the cRIO-FRC as described in the manual?

The licenses I currently have available are:
I appreciate the help thank you
Hi Mhemling,
do you want to use "classic" LabVIEW or NXG? (You know NXG is end-of-life!?)
I guess your license only covers "LabVIEW for Windows", but not the RT/FPGA modules. Those modules are (quite expensive) addons to your Professional license…
- I don't see any RT module for "classic" LabVIEW. The FPGA module is only in evaluation mode…
- It seems you use LabVIEW 2020, but there is a FRC simulation addon for LabVIEW 2019 only.
- The cRIO9076 is from the old (Pharlap) generation and is considered deprecated. While LabVIEW still supports them, the FPGA compilers from Xilinx are quite tricky to use for that old device. In case you do some FPGA programming you should consider the CompileFarm service provided by NI!
- I don't know NXG so much: maybe NI already dropped support for the old 9076 from NXG… (Read the documentation!)
