I created an application on a machine with Labview 6.01, can I run this application on another machine that has labview 5?

In the development center we use Labview 6.01, in the testcenter we use labview 5.

Additionally, in the development center we use a unix version of Labview and in the testcenter a Windows version.

If you use Save with Options and select Save for Previous, your LabVIEW 5 systems can load the source code. If you've used features that are unique to LabVIEW 6 or the Unix version, you'll have to rewrite the application.

You can Save with Option to save VIs as version 5.
Unless your VIs deal with system files in UNIX or Windows (ie. Registry...)
then you have to develop your VI specificly on that OS, since UNIX and
Windows have different ways to deal with system files. Mostly, LabVIEW is OS
independent. I used to have VIs developed from LabVIEW v.3 on UNIX, I can
still open these files from LV v.4 on Windows. Now I can still work with
these VIs on LV 6 on Windows.
Good luck,

Nam.
