NI Volume License Manager

[Guy_S]

Hi,

Perhaps I'm only failing to understand this, but, I purchased 7 Named-User Concurrent Licenses for LabVIEW 2018 Professional Development System, with the expectation that I can have it installed on an infinite number of Computers while using it concurrently by 7 users at the same time.

When I'm trying to more than 7 Users, I get an error that I have no additional free seats.

Has anyone encountered such an error? Is it just a failure to understand what the Concurrent model works like?

Thanks

Maybe I misunderstand your question but it sound like you are asking...

How come when I purchased 7 user VLM I can not have more than 7 users using it at a time?

Hi, Thanks for the reply, not exactly.

What I meant is, I understood the SW policy to say that I can install a concurrent license on 200 PCs, as long as I can operate LabVIEW at the same time on 7 only.

What actually happens is that I can only install on 7 PCs and operate 7 at the same time.

We are on a VLM here...

Using the NI Licence manager you can click on Network Licences check and see how many seats are being used and who is using them.

Frankly I have found a VLM more hassle than it's worth but it saves my company a couple hundred dollars a year so I am stuck with it.
