What is a test account?
Test accounts are free trial accounts on the NI-Managed SOLO Server. You can use this within the LabVIEW Third Party Licensing & Activation Toolkit Add-on Licensing Tool to license a library in Standard Mode.
How do I get a test account?
Within LabVIEW in the Add-on Licensing Tool (Tools > Add-on Licensing Tool), you can click "New to SOLO Server?" and then "Sign up for an account today!" You can also sign up at https://softwarekey.ni.com/solo/products/custom/account/Signup.aspx
What are the limitations of a test account?
- Only test licenses are permitted to be added to the system.
- Test licenses are deleted at the end of the month
- You should use test licenses for internal testing by developers. Do not issue test licenses to actual customers because they will eventually be purged.
- Adding bulk licenses (via the Customers / Add Multiple menu option) is not allowed.
- Manually adding invoices to customer records is not allowed.
How do I upgrade a test account to a full account?
Full accounts on the NI-Managed SOLO Server are provided free of charge for Add-ons that are hosted on the NI Tools Network. For information on hosting your add-on, please visit Contribute an Add-On to the Tools Network.
Will I lose my products and customers in my test account when I upgrade?
No. All of the data created in a test account will be maintained when you upgrade, so you will not lose any work.
Where can I get more information?
