New Registration Wizard functionality?

[Mellobuck]

Hello,

Today on restart of my development machine, I was prompted to register a remote device (a cRIO-9022) that was on our network, which has never been connected to my machine. It was discovered in MAX a few weeks ago, when I was searching for other remote systems, but has been on and running for a while, so I am wondering why the new prompt. (the restart was due to a Windows install, no new NI Software for weeks on this machine).

Is this expected behavior? We are an Alliance member and will have a lot of Ethernet-based NI equipment on our network from time to time, will this prompt show up on everybody's computer on restart? Is there a way to limit registration to just directly-connected items?

Regards,

Tim

Tim,

I took a look into this and I personally have never seen the Product Registration window pop up after a restart of a computer. I have also never seen a remote device listed. Is the cRIO the only device its asking you to register? Have you ever seen this for for any of your other Ethernet-based equipment?

I don't think that this will prompt you or your anyone else's computer after every restart. If you reboot your own computer, does the Product Registration window pop up every time? I will definitely look into this a bit further. In order to best troubleshoot this issue, what is your hardware and software set up? I want to see if we can duplicate this.

Good Afternoon Stephanie,

Thanks for looking into it, I restarted again and so no other prompt to register the cRIO-9022 (even though I cancelled last time). Running the Registration Wizard explicitly gave me the same pop-up as I showed in the first post. 

I have attached my MAX report and an image of my system hardware setup. This is a laptop with no attached NI hardware.

I haven't heard of anyone else here having this problem, I was just trying to **bleep** it in the bud.

**edit** not sure why that was bleeped, it's the classic Barney Fife phrase if that means anything to you...

Thanks,

Tim

Thank you for the information. If we can duplicate this behavior or find any additional information about this I'll be sure to let you know.
