About the LabVIEW Update

[ikeda_kaoru]

I am currently using LabVIEW 2019 SP1 (32bit). Is there any way to update to the latest version?

I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

In general, LabVIEW is licensed with each "major Version" (such as LabVIEW 2021 and LabVIEW 2021 SP1, or LabVIEW 2024 Q1 and LabVIEW 2024 Q3) requiring its own license.  Some licenses allow more than one user to "share" the license.  In addition, there is now a Community License that is available for free, but may not be used for classwork (there is an Academic license that supports that) or for commercial use.

Ask someone who knows where the license for LabVIEW 2019 came from, and whether a newer license is available for you to use.  You probably do not want to purchase a license for yourself (takai desu) ...

If you have an active SSP you can install any version you like. If you have a single LV2019 license you'll need to buy a new one (you can maybe get some discount if you talk to a representative)

Yes! You can purchase an SSP (Standard Support Program) for one year for 25% of the full perpetual license (I assume you already have a perpetual license, the only subscription available before 2022 was for the Base Package, so if you do not have a LabVIEW Base, you almost certainly have a perpetual license).

Usually, NI charges so called late fees when you upgrade to the newest version through SSP, which is about the amount you would have paid if you had continuously maintained an SSP  or the full perpetual license price, whichever is smaller. However since they reintroduced the perpetual license end of last year they have a current offer until June of this year to upgrade any old perpetual license for the standard 25% SSP price without any late fees.

Thank you for your response.
It was helpful.
I will do some research and update.
