Simple image capture and analysis - what licence is needed

Hi all,

My problem is a simple one, I want to acquire images from a mono USB camera in real time, plot the intensity for a given row of pixels and fit a gaussian to it. In a previous life I have done exactly this but my problem is one of licences and poor product information!

I believe that I need the NI-IMAQ packages, for which I need a suitable licence. Can anyone recommend the cheapest way for me to do this (I already have a 2021 licence)?

Sorry for such a mundane question but I have already phoned the 'Purchase and Quote' phone number where I was told to speak to my local 'distributor' who also has no clue and they cannot seem to get an answer from NI themselves....
