License to redistribute NationalInstruments.NI4882.dll and NationalInstruments.Common.dll

[JasonWai]

Hi

I am working for Keysight Technologies and we are developing a commercial product with another company.  And we are using NI's GPIB cable to connect up two machines.  We are referencing NationalInstruments.NI4882.dll and NationalInstruments.Common.dll in our software.  We are thus, redistributing these two dlls in our commercial product.

My question is do I need and how, to request permission to redistribute these 2 dlls?

Thank you

This is more of a Legal question than a Technical problem.   I will refer you to the EULA but, no advice I can give would come with any indemnity. 

From experience though, as long as you don't go out of your way to hide that the IP is NIs you are OK.

Hi Jason,

What versions of NationalInstruments.NI4882.dll and NationalInstruments.Common.dll are you using? Are they native 64 bit ?

Thanks,

Ed

Hmm... Kind of interesting that you chose National Instruments as Keysight makes GPIB adaptors and even has their own Keysight VISA and IEEE488 libraries.

But as everyone else said this is a legal issue not a LabVIEW peer support question.
