If I reinstall the LabVIEW, will the DAQ tasks disappear?

[Barry Chen]

Hi there, when I was trying to export configurations from MAX, the following warning:

"Another process has changed or deleted some items while this wizard was open. Unable to perform the requested copy operation. Please restart the wizard and try the operation again."

Then I found a ridiculous thing, the serial number shown in corresponding software is not the one we have(we have a full development license for LabVIEW8.2) Therefore:

I'd like to reinstall LabVIEW using right license. However I wonder if the hardware configurations and DAQ tasks in MAX will be lost? It is very important for our current system.

Do I need to uninstall the old one first to have the right license?

I'm new to LabVIEW, I could not find info regarding the warning. And can anyone tell me on how many computers can I install the software with one series number? I'll be very happy if anyone can help me, thanks.

I doubt that you're running the LV DAQmx based program while exporting the  configuration of MAX. I suggest you reboot the PC and then go to export the configuration directly without running any LV program.

If not work, You can refer to the below link to see where and how to backup your MAX configuration (just backup, not to create the new file for MAX)
