Create Application

[Diana_Fern]

Hi everybody!

First, thanks for your help.

I have two questions:

1. If I create an application of my program, that was made in student version labview that it will expire in 45 days, so my application will expire in 45 days too.

2. If my application was made in a computer with windows SO 8.1, this same application will work well too with another computer that has another windows SO, right?

I hope your comments.

Kind Regards.

I have no experience with Student Edition, but am pretty sure that a build application is not limited by any license term that the IDE may have. We use ourselves a professional site license for which every installation has to be reregistered every year again but the executables we build for our clients during the year are not limited by this license limitation.

You did agree to not use any build executables from your student edition for commercial use but that is a separate limitation that is not part of the license manager.

What does Windows SO mean?

Thanks Rolf !

Well, about windows SO, I have refered Operating System of Windows.

Kind Regards.

Ahhh you meant OS. So as far as that goes, the built executable will usually work on the same kind of OS.

Please note that there are several variables. First National Instruments only has tested the different LabVIEW versions for the Operating systems that were still supported by the OS manufacturer at the time a particular LabVIEW version was released. See here for the according chart: https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/compatibility/17/labview-and-microsoft-windows-compatibi...

While most executables also work in later versions and usually in earlier Windows versions, there is no guarantee and it mostly depends on additional needed hardware drivers your application may require, such as NI-VISA, NI-DAQmx and similar. These drivers need to be installed in addition to your application if you make use of any of their functionality, and as they go much deeper into the OS with kernel driver installation and such, their compatibility across different versions of the OS is much more restricted to only the versions that NI guarantees for the respective driver version.

Also you need to be aware about the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit applications. While a 32-bit application will normally run fine on a 64-bit OS (provided all the needed drivers have been installed with the necessary 32-bit application support), that is not true for the reverse.
