LabVIEW Idea Exchange
When LabVIEW 2009 starts, first appears a splash screen with a serial number. Almost the same screen is an About LabVIEW window.
Everyone can see private, protected SERIAL NUMBER: VIsitors during the presentation, students during LabVIEW studying, etc.
Problem can be solved:
1) Activate LabVIEW with a correct serial
2) Enter fake serial, try to activate again.
3) Enjoy fake serial on the screen, activated LabVIEW.
Dark side of the solution:
1) Nobody can't see his real serial number, even when really needs it
2) A bit errr... clumsy
Proposed modification:
LabVIEW serial should be only inside License Manager, on the splash screen - only information: Activated, evaluation, etc.
No Dark side: License Manager can be hidden using Windows user restricting policies.
