How do I activate or extend the LabView trial version?

[George554]

Hello,

I have problem, my trial version Labview expired and I haven´t got activate key.

I need run Labview tomorrow, because my theses is in Labview. Can someone help me? I need activate labview only for one day. 

Thanks for all tips.

Hi,

Although it doesn't directly answer your question, since you mention a thesis I guess you're at some sort of academic institution.

It's probably worth checking (although perhaps you already have) if they have an Academic Site Licence, or some sort of bulk/volume licence for the student body.

If not, perhaps this is a good opportunity to tell them how much you'd value the ASL 😉

I haven't read the terms of the trial licence, but perhaps you can check if it's possible/allowed to just download a new copy for another 30 days?

An alternative, although probably unwanted, solution is to consider the LabVIEW Home edition. The latest version that I know of is 2014, which isn't ideal, but it might work for your situation. The licence costs around $50 for lifetime use (but afaik, no upgrades). The Digilent page has a 45 day trial, which may or may not be the same as the LabVIEW trial...
