Activate labview 8.5 with version 8.2.1 installed

[R_H_O]

I have a system with labview version 8.2.1 installed. Now we have got a new version, 8.5 witch I have also installed, with the same serial code. When I want to work with version 8.5 it asks to activate, but version 8.2.1 works the way it used to be.

Did I instal it wrong? Upgrade insted of a new installation? Or should I unistal version 8.2.1 before installing version 8.5?

You have to activate the new version, regardless of whether you have it co-installed or installed by itself.  This is expected behavior.  You already activated 8.2 when you installed it originally.

As Matthew mentioned, all versions need to be activated.

There is no reason to uninstall a previous version, you should actually keep it around in case you run into some upgrade issues.

Your start menu should have a link to the NI license manager. It will tell you exactly what you have installed and even lets you activate what needs to be activated. 🙂
