LabVIEW 2026 Q3 License Activation

[Eric1977]

Whenever I try and activate a license, every time I am greeted with this when I try and activate. I clearly have a Perpetual license. What gives? Frustration is setting in.

When did you buy that perpetual license?  Was it over a year ago?

It is my understanding that a perpetual license is only good for the most recent edition at the time you buy it, plus patches to that edition.  It used to include updates for a year after that as well, but I haven't checked that portion of it recently.

Also, your e-mail address is visible in your screenshot.  FYI if that's the sort of thing you normally redact.

Your second screenshot says it is the Community Edition. I thought you had to renew the FREE license every year... Which I always thought was rather silly.
