LabVIEW licens questions

[ByDesign]

Hi!

First of all I'm not sure this is the appropriate forum for this question, but I couldn't find a more suitable one..

My employer have some 'Professional Development System'-LV licences.

I use one of them and I think it's called 'Non-concurrent' which I understand as I may have LV installed on 3 different computers (for example home, work, and laptop) but only have one active at time.

Questions:

1. Employer uses Win7, I use Mac OS at home. Do the licens include LabVIEW no matter what OS or is it OS specific?

2. Employer uses a licence server which I cannot connect to from home. Is it okay to install LV at home by using the serial number connected to me?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what the exact rules are for the different OSes, so I'll defer on that question.

As far as the home license, you can get your administrator to make you a home license file.  You just have to supply your computer ID that is found in the NI License Manager.  You can then just install that license file and you are good to go for as long as the administrator gives you (usually tied somehow to the network license renewal).

A LabVIEW license is os specific. A Windows license does not include a license for the Mac.
