Can I run labview application developed on windows on Linux? What do I need?

I saw lot of posts about the same question, but could not make out clearly as to what needs to be purchased. I have LabView 7.1 for Windows. I have an application with 160 VIs already developed using this version of labview. I will continue developing in windows, but I need to run the final application (.exe) both in windows and linux platforms. Can I do it? What needs to be purchased? Is there a list of things specific to windows, which will not run on Linux somewhere?
 
Thank you for looking

An exe file is OS specific. In order to build an exe for Linux, you would need LabVIEW for Linux and the application builder for that. I don't know of a specific list of Windows only functions. If you check the on-line help for specific functions, it should tell you if it's available only on Windows. Some of the functions include ActiveX. The timed loop is Windows only. If you're using DAQ, I believe DAQmx is only for Windows. For Linux, you have to use DAQmx base. There's toolkits that are Windows only. This would include the Database Connectivity and Report Generation toolkits.
