Using addon during LabVIEW trial period

[Hambone.]

Hello LabVIEW community,

I'm currently on my 45 day trial and I installed the Advanced Plotting by Heliosphere Research LLC. I do not see any controls to add to my front panel from that addon. Secondly, when I open any of their examples and run them the plot never updates, it just stays white.

I do get this prompt on LabVIEW startup.

Does anyone know if I cannot use this addon because I'm missing these toolkits?

Thank You

The 45-day "trial period" is for the LabVIEW version you installed.  I'm going to assume you did not install, say, the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit, nor the Database Connectivity Toolkit, for example.  So you would have been able to open LabVIEW, write a few VIs, see if you wanted to use it for a year, and (depending on your decision), paid the licensing fee (or not).

Instead, you installed "Advance Plotting", which (I'm guessing, here) may have additional LabVIEW components (such as the two mentioned above), and wouldn't run without them.  So you can continue evaluating LabVIEW, but to evaluate the Advanced Plotting tool, it appears you'll need additional LabVIEW components that you now need to install.  Maybe they'll also have a 45-day trial period?
