Reinstalling Labview on a Different Computer

[Jokool]

I need to reinstall labview on a different computer.  If I reload from DVD how to I get all of the latest updates? My NI support is expired now.

The NI Update Service program will run automatically and inform you of available updates for download.

Hmm.  If your Support has expired, what about your License?  Does it permit you to install LabVIEW on "a different computer"?

if you have an active LabVIEW license then do the following steps.

1. Go to Ni license manager and select display computer information, you will get your computer ID

2. copy the computer name and its ID and also the LabVIEW license

3. Drop a mail to support.india@ni.com requesting for change of license for your pc mentiong all the above details.

you will get the detailed help on how to go further with your installation.

Hope this helps

You're making a pretty large assumption they live in India.  If they don't, they won't want to be sending any email to that address.  Beyond that, what do any of those steps do for them?  You're looking at activation questions.  That has nothing to do with updates.

If they have an active license, they can install.  They can use the same NI License Manager to activate.  They can wait until the Update Service brings up any updates.  They can install them.

There's no need to do any of what you suggested.  They'd be wasting their time and some poor AEs time trying to explain the guy on the forum really didn't understand how updates work.  (That, and it's a bit silly to install something to get access to all of the software you suggest they use and THEN call and ask how to install).
