Hello I am trying to install labview 2017 Mac version on my MacBook Pro.
I downloaded the software from here:
http://www.ni.com/download/labview-development-system-2017/6962/en/
I went to the tab "Activations/Upgrades' and downloaded it.
When I open the .dmg file I get this:
I cannot see the "LabVIEW 2017" but the "LabVIEW 2018 Evaluation"
I would like some help on how to instal LabVIEW 2017 for Mac please.

I've always gotten this by contacting NI directly and getting them to send me a CD (as part of my license). For the past 3-5 years (not sure when), the Mac/Linux Distributions have not been included in the "distribution kits".

It really depends what LabVIEW license you have. LabVIEW for Mac and Linux does not use a built in license manager like in Windows. As such there is not a single version to download that is automatically converted to a full license once you register the license code.
You have a downloadable evaluation version which is restricted in functionality and usually only is available for the latest currently released version. And you have a full version which is distributed on a media only (or occasionally a private download link you can get from NI support). If you have a valid license for LabVIEW for Mac you should have received a kit with a storage media with the installer on it. And if you maintain your MSP you should receive a new media whenever a new version comes out for as long as your MSP is maintained.
