NI 488.2 license question

[notmen]

Hi,

We have purchased a Spectrum Analyzer and bundled with a vendor developed application. The application required NI 488.2 to run.

I can't find any license information about using NI 488.2.

Any official document or NI representative can confirm me NI 488.2 (including the components included in the 488.2 package) is free to use in our case?

After installing NI 488.2, I checked the NI license manager list is empty.

Attached the NI package manager screen for reference.

Thanks,

Notmen

NI 488.2 is a driver, device drivers are free to use and not licensed and will not list in NI License manager.

More correctly, they are free to use with NI hardware. They are not free, if you use something else than genuine NI hardware.
