About Labview runtime License

[Hellen98]

I installed Labview Runtime in order to run an exe app made by Labview(made by a subscription user).

It shows that the Labview Runtime installed PC is linked with "NI LabVIEW 20** Deployable License".

I don't think it necessary to link with Deployable License because I just want to run the exe.

But, I checked from web and found that Deployable License is not free and NI policy requires one Deployable License per PC. 

Could you please tell me, if the Runtime package includes the Deployable License by default, and is there any problem to have this license without pay in my case?

Or could you please tell me how to delete this license?

The LabVIEW RunTime Engine is free. There are toolkits that may require a Deployment license to use them in an runtime environment.

Tim is correct.

What does the software do? What toolkits and modules does it use? You probably should ask whoever made the executable.

Can you explain the meaning of "linked with"? What happens if you try to tun it? Can you show the exact message?

Thanks for the reply from you NI members.

I am an image processing team manager and recently checking if there is any illegal usage with software licenses.

Firstly, the exe is a tool to check the image quality of graininess and output a value which is a self-definition.

I will confirm with the person who created the exe software what toolkits he used next Monday.

Could you please kindly tell me how to check what kind of toolkits the software is using?

Is there any simple way to do that? The software may be created by the version of 2012 and I heard that he rebuilt the exe with the latest 2025 version. If possible, please give me the methods to check on both of the version: 2012 and 2025.

And for another question, The meaning of the word "Linked with",

It might not be a correct word. We have a system to check if there are any risks of having used any licenses without payments on our employee Notebook PCs. The checker shows that the PC installed only Labview runtime includes the Labview Deployment license. Not linked, but included in the runtime installed Note PC.That's what I wanted to say.

It is possible that the application also uses the vision runtime, which requires a license, I think.
