Hi,

I have labview 8.6.1 for windows but I'm switching over to a Mac desktop PC.  Can I transfer the license over to a Mac version? 

Best,

I will let someone from NI answer that but I was told that I could not transfer my license from Windows to Linux. That was several years ago. But people have been very successful running Windows 7 under Parallels on the MAC.

Hi Eric,

The LabVIEW license for Windows, Mac, and Linux are all separate, so you will not be able to transfer the license from a Windows machine to a Mac machine.

Thanks,

PaulRB, is it ok to transfer it over to a Windows virtual machine on the Mac?

Hi Steve,

You can transfer your license over to a Windows virtual machine running on a Mac.
