Hi DeWalker,

one solution is to use a hardware id. Check if the correct id is present in your system and start your application in the true case. Another solution is to use a dongle.

Hope it helps.

You mean i should geta  system id thru some LV block and verify it.......What sort of blocks are available for hardware id check??

Hi DeWalker,

maybe the volume id which you get with a "dir" cmd in the command window is enough for you. You can get it into labview with the system exec function.

I second the idea of using the volume ID. Bear in mind however, that in the (unlikely) event of the PC needing a replacement drive for whatever reason, you need to be able to edit the software lock. Even if it is to edit and recompile your code
