If you are working at a new company and you find out they won't invest in the tools you need to do your job, or that they steal from other companies, that's a sign that you have not found a great place to work.

There shouldn't be any reason to contemplate buying your own LV license if you are working for a responsible company. But the OP should try to get his or her company to do the right thing, and my point is that one doesn't necessarily have to go it alone. Well, sure, and your next baseball game might rain out too. It can put you in an uncomfortable position where the NI rep is pressing you for an order, but the accounts dept are dragging their feet (you are after all only one of many requirements for monies) and you are piggy in the middle. I've always found it far better to argue that the project cannot proceed at all and is at risk unless a licence is bought, and, although an evaluation is available, it has already been used during the feasibility phase. If there is a legitimate way to use labview without paying (either long-term or short term) then it is usually argued by the bean counters' that it is not a necessity to buy now and once you have used the goodwill, then the evaluation.they will consider it again (you only make it easier for them to delay). My experience has been that a companies( generally) won't spend any money unless they really, really have to. That person pretty much has authority to let you use a full LabVIEW licesnse as long as your company needs while it is making a decision. I have no doubt the rep would like to hear from you. That person's full-time job is to try to get your employer to buy LabVIEW, so s/he might be really good at that. You can find out his or her contact info at NI's web site. I think that's pretty fair, although some my argue differently, as there is also this Idea out there: Noncommercial Hobby/Home license for LabVIEW which has really blown up in votes since I last saw it!īut I am probably biased as we ran a VLM at my last job and this one we are a Certified Alliance Partner with a Dev Suite - so T&C are different.Īlso you could enlist the help of your local NI sales rep.

Currently, for a standard purchase of LabVIEW you are allowed 3 installs with the notion that you will require the following (or similar setup): So I have been told NI have loosened up the license restriction from years ago. This is what I have been told by my employer, it may not be 100% (and best to hear it from the horse's mouth) but it is my current understanding. Then noticed the price, so is there any discount out there or do you just use your companys version of the Labview? Hi, i was wondering how much it would be to buy the Labview license for myself.
