Issues with executable launch and using BLT palette to display license expiration warnings

[sambouisd]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing a few issues with my LabVIEW application integrated with BLT for LabVIEW, and I would really appreciate your help:

1. Executable launch behavior:

When I test the executable built using the installer (the .zip package containing all the required files, including the splash screen), the application starts before the splash screen appears.

Additionally, on some client PCs:

• The application icon doesn’t show up properly.
• Some users are not able to launch the executable at all.

1. Displaying license expiration alerts using the BLT palette:

I would like to use the BLT for LabVIEW palette functions to warn users when their license is about to expire, or display how many days are left.

However, when I use BLT_Get License details.vi, I get no useful information—the output is empty. I’m not sure how to properly use this VI or which ones I should use to retrieve and display license data within my application.

If anyone has an example or guidance on how to handle these situations, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, 

Please schedule some time with me at https://www.studiobods.com/rdv so we can discuss your issues regarding the Executable launch behavior.

Regarding the license expiration message, you can use the following approach:

Note that most of the VIs in the BLT Palette only return valid information when executed from a BLT-wrapped application built as an executable.
