LabVIEW 2015 SP1 - LabVIEW Pro installed (and activated) but treating users like LabVIEW Full.

Recall that LabVIEW 2017 was the first appearance of NIPM and the new "improved" (ha!) License Manager.  I had numerous problems, but after one really clean install (I'd deleted everything from NI, short of the registry), I finally logged a Support Request and had an AE help me with the "manual install" (they give you some Magic Numbers and those sometimes work).

So yes, I stripped my computer bare of everything NI-related (but, like you, left the registry intact).  Since my installation environment was simple - LV 2015 SP1 only - I proceeded with an install.  It worked!  So far.  Still installing device drivers, but it shouldn't be a high risk activity.  Hopefully this is my last post to this topic.
