Do you want to create an installer for an application you made in LabWindows/CVI? If so, here is a white paper with steps on how to do so: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5987/en/

I don't think there is a bult-in capability to create an installer that will run on a single PC, but you can incorporate in your application instructions on some hardware item of the target system and create your own licensing algorithm on them.

This subject has already been discussed in this forum: you can look at this thread and this other one.

In the last page, I mention a sample of mine which is available on the Community: I have updated it to retrieve the disk serial number also, as it can be useful to get a unique sign for a specific PC; the sample uses WMI to get system infos: you can find the modified version attached to this message. You need full CVI version to run the sample.
