Labview OPC UA 2022/23 compatibility?

[iqpi]

It seems there is a discrepancy between Labview OPC UA 2022 Q4 Read Me and Software Platform Bundle 2022 Q3 Read Me unless I am misunderstanding something here:

LabVIEW OPC UA Toolkit 2022 Q4 Readme - NI -

Software Platform Bundle 2022 Q3 Readme - National Instruments (ni.com)

Software Platform Bundle 2023 Q1 Readme - NI -

I downloaded the Software Platform Bundle 2022 Q3 but I did not see Labview OPC UA Toolkit included in the package even though it is listed in the Read me.  However, I did see the Labview OPC UA Runtime for 32 and 64 bit in the package.

Questions:

Is Labview OPC UA Toolkit actually included in both 2022 Q3 and 2023 Q1 SPB as the Read Me clearly states that it is?

Is Labview OPC UA Toolkit 2022 Q4 actually compatible with Labview 2022 Q3?

Is Labview OPC UA Toolkit 2022 Q4 actually compatible with Labview 2023 Q1?

Is there an actual discrepancy between the Read me docs (or am I misunderstanding something here) and if so which one is correct?

Do I need to download and install the Labview OPC UA Toolkit 2022 Q4 separately from the 2023 Q1 SPB and if so is the Labview OPC UA Toolkit 2022 Q4 included in the 2023 Q1 SPB license?

Hello,

Just tryed to install the toolkit with a LabVIEW 2023 setup... and oops, no 2023 version ?

So it just seems that LabVIEW OPC UA Toolkit is not supported aymore. Perhaps did you already read this thread, intially about secure connection options...

From my experience I can confirm that OPC UA Toolkit 2022 Q4 is compatible with 2023 Q1 as well as with 2024 Q1. I dont remember if I've used exactly this with 2022 Q3 or not, because at this moment lower version (I guess OPC UA 2022 Q3) was active, and I remember that this version was not possible to install on LabVIEW 2023 Q1. But latest OPC UA version is OK also for latest LabVIEW:

I always downloaded OPC UA Toolkit as *.iso file and installed separately, not from "SPB". And yes, we purchased separate license for this toolkit. Was no significant issues so far, the only deployment from LabVIEW-based installer doesn't work as expected, so I installed OPC UA Run-Time on the target machine manually from *.iso.

Thank you for the tip, I finally manage to get OPC UA set up with LV23, downloading the offline iso.
Not exactly straightforward, but seems to be OK.

I will accept this as the solution but Mathieu R.'s thread link provides important insight on Labview OPC UA toolkit's future and helps explain the discrepancies in official NI documentation.
