I am required (when doing certain tests) to disconnect my
machine from the WEB
when I do and then bring up LabVIEW I get the following
Backup License
7 days remaining .......
What happens after 7 days
why must I be on the WEB to use my purchased and licensed copy of LabVIEW?
Is there something else that I have to purchase?
Please let me know because this is going to become a real problem quickly

No my license is to my machine
I use LabVIEW every day and I have since it came out
I only ger the Backup License notice when I must disconnect from the web.
Procedure when running a test
If LabVIEW is running shut it down
Stop all web based programs
disconnect from the web (pull the plug)
restart LabVIEW
this is when I get the Backup License notice ( the # of days has been counting down to zero)
IF I keep LabVIEW running no problems, But that is not always possible.

jamesz,
2 things:
First, are you removing your network card (is this a laptop?) when you "unplug"? If so, that's the cause of the problem. The network card must stay installed on the PC in order for you not to get this message. Also do you see your computer ID change when you "unplug"? You can find your computer id by going to start>>Program Files>>National Instruments>>NI License Manager>>Display computer information.
If you're not removing your network card and your computer id is changing, go ahead and contact ni from http://www.ni.com/support/ and select the email option.
