Potential issue with LabVIEW downloads (mac)

[altenbach]

According to this discussion, downloading the latest LabVIEW version for the mac seems to be impossible. While only the newest versions are available for non-SSP customers, the site seems to think that the patch is the newest version and the required "real" newest version , i.e. the second entry, is not the newest and thus blocked.

Since I have SSP access, I cannot test. Maybe somebody could look into this to make sure it works correctly.

Hi altenbach, 

The download page on ni.com is displaying the correct behavior. In order to download LabVIEW for Mac or Linux, you have to have an active SSP membership. The 2019 SP1 (non-patch) version should be "locked" for users who are not active on SSP. 

Hope this clears things up. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks. That's what I vaguely remembered. (I guess part of the confusion to the OP was the fact that the patch download does not require SSP and the message talks about "previous versions require SSP" when trying the newest mac version on that page).

As I said, i cannot test and verify if it is confusing on not. 😉 Maybe the error message could be improved?

Great recommendation! I'll take this back to our content team.
