PCI-GPIB+

[byron12]

I need to activate drivers for a PCI-GPIB+ card supplied by Quantum Design (https://qdusa.com/) with their PPMS.  I downloaded Windows NI4882 version 20 and installed it.  What must I purchase and/or do to activate it?  The expiration of Windows XP support disabled the computer that once supervised this system and made it necessary to migrate to Windows 10 64b (1809).

If it is a card manufactured by NI but sold through a third party with their equipment, there is no activation required for the driver or GPIB card by itself. Only their custom application or equipment would need activation.

Going by your words of deactivation after XP support, it is definitely their software that deactivated and NI HW has nothing to do with it. I would recommend you reach out to Quantum Design for activation.

Again, no activation is required for the PCI-GPIB+ card and the NI 488.2 driver whatsoever. Only NI application software like LabVIEW, TestStand etc., require activation, and that too for development or deployment not for runtime use.
