Run time License

[Arrouma]

Hi everybody ,
I would create an inspection with VBAI that communicate with Labwindows/CVI and called by C API.
This application should be running in many machines at the factory..
1- does it takes a Run time license for each single machine or just one can be used for all machines ?
2- which run time license should i buy VBAI Run time license or CVI Run time license ? 

Thank you in advance
Best regards.

The CVI run time is free. Just create CVI executables and you can deploy them without needing to pay for a license for each deployed system.

For the VBAI engine, you will need to purchase a runtime license for each deployed system.

You will also need development packages for CVI and VBAI to create the applications on your development machine (which you probably already have):

Hope that helps,

Thanks for your response,
Does the LabWindows/CVI Base can do the trick (Calling VBAI API) ?

Any C programming language can use the C API to communicate/control VBAI as long as it includes the header/library that comes with VBAI and you install support from VBAI for this feature.
