From Friday, April 19th (11:00 PM CDT) through Saturday, April 20th (2:00 PM CDT), 2024, ni.com will undergo system upgrades that may result in temporary service interruption.
We appreciate your patience as we improve our online experience.
I don't know the detailed process of the "phone call" activation, but it seems that if you call NI for the activation code and don't see the registration information in Lookout, you can use the Start->All Program->National Instrument->NI Registration Wizard.
