My job involves developing LV code for machine automation.
Mostly I work on not more than two projects at a time so the current Activation of the license upto 3 PCs max, works fine.
I need the design environment for on the machine trials and changes to the build as otherwise I have to build on my laptop and transfer to the machine.
Recently there was a case where I needed more than three and one of the machines was not reachable immediately. So I am building on laptop and transferring to the machine.
I searched and got this article : https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000P7WFSA0&l=en-IN
My query is : They talk of Deactivation. But how will NI know unless it is reflected in their data base … for this we need an internet connection while deactivating ? If not when we try to activate the NI server may complain of too many installations ?
I am not very clear about this whole process of activation. ( In contrast some other software I have mandate to be connected to the net while deactivating and they also clamp a max number of : " moves" within one year. )

You should be able to call up NI and take care of that manually.

Proud to say that I've progressed beyond knowing just enough to be dangerous. I now know enough to know that I have no clue about anything at all.

Isn't developing code on one machine and running application on two other machines a violation of the license? Yes, you can install LabVIEW on three machines but I believe that the license stipulates that they cannot be used concurrently.

I am aware of that. My license is a Username license and I am the only one developing code using it. So when I am developing code on my laptop, the one that runs on the machine is a standalone EXE. Actually in my case the " Use on one machine only at a time " stipulation is difficult to break !!
