Standard practice for LabVIEW documentation - NI Community

Is there a way to buy LabVIEW licenses direct from NI without it going to a reseller? 

Python and .NET don't require adding a vendor to your company's procurement system.

.NET isn't a programming language and only since recently it doesn't require M$ (although M$ is already in most company's procurement systems).

But, yes; Python, C, C#, PHP, Java, C++, C++\CLI, F#, Rust, etc., etc. are pretty much free to use though. And OS and CPU independent as well.

In fact, I don't think there are that many (successful) programming languages that aren't free to use?

Free to use?  Even air is free to use! Ask any midwife.   The COST is in LEARNING to use it!

Air's free to breath, but not to travel trough 😁. (This is the Carnac thread)

This reminds me of the saying: Linux is only free if you don't value your time.
