Labview Application Builder

[rkh1957]

I have a licensed copy of the LabView 2016 Professional Development System, running under Windows 10. Every time I start it, I get a message that the license for the application builder (which I understand is a part of the Professional Development system) has expired. How can I stop this message? I was getting the same message for other packages; I removed them with the NI Package Manager, and no longer get those messages. The application builder, however does not show up in the package manager, so I can't remove it. As a note, I also have the evaluation version of LabView 2019; it also gives me a message that the application builder license is about to expire, and the package manager also does not show the 2019 application builder.

What does the license manager say and what happens if you try to activate?

Hmmm, I have 2018 Pro Dev and my license manager shows the application builder in the Add-ons section.  Do you see it there if you click the arrow to expand the section?  If not, maybe you should give NI a call.

EDIT:  I also see "Package Building support for LabVIEW 2018 (32-bit)" in my package manager but only after I uncheck "Products only".

The license manager shows it as an add-on to LabView 2016. When I try to activate it, it asks for a serial number, which I don't have. Also, I don't want to activate it, I want to remove it.

I never did find a way to remove it. It may be that it is built into the Pro development system. I finally got rid of the message by deleting the license file.
