Anyone has a saved copy of legacy NI-DAQ 7.5 they are willing to share?
I am reinstalling an old system, and NI removed legacy NI-DAQ from the web site. I understand NI desire to make more money selling new stuff ensure people use latest solutions, but total cost of upgrade for entire system in my case would be in 6 digits which I - Surprise-surprise! don't have right now...

Pulled this out of the rabbit hole:

Thanks, but this is an early version of DAQmx from 2005, not legacy one.
Legacy 7.5 was a late guy, released in 2013, and the only legacy version to work with vista, 7 and 8.
here was the link: http://www.ni.com/download/traditional-ni-daq-legacy-7.5/4498/en/

Here's what else I found at the ftp site, in case you want to experiment:

I remember transitioning from traditional NI-DAQ to DAQmx in the mid-2000's and having to support legacy hardware on traditional NI-DAQ until that job ended in 2010. My recollection is that it was pretty much announced that active development of traditional NI-DAQ was ending at 7.4. I recall that several consecutive releases of DAQmx packaged up the same unchanged version of traditional NI-DAQ, probably 7.4.4.
The link above seems to provide access to a 7.5 *beta*, but there's probably a reason it didn't officially release until 6 years later...
