Currently we have a subscription license but want to update to a perpetual license for Test Stand 2019. Is this an option?
Also, does the Test Stand software have to be licensed to run or will it work with just the runtimes installed? This is how LabWindows CVI worked.
Thanks

Depending on which TestStand license you are referring to:
- no more perpetual licenses for the "development system"
- for Runtime and Debug & Deployment versions, perpetual licenses are available
In order to run a TestStand Sequence on a prodiction machine without having the "development system" installed you need to have the runtime engine (aka Base Deployment)
Please note, that this license is NOT free and has to be purchased. CVI and LabVIEW RTEs are free.
Hope that helps

You can buy a perpetual license for development; the option is not shown on the public facing website. You need to contact quotes@ni.com directly; in your email explicitly request a quote for part# 777777-35. That is part# for perpetual TestStand Development System, Windows, Download.
