Remote Panels under Virtual OSs?

[Steve257]

I've been asked a question from a customer...

If they run a LabView compiled VI under a Virtual OS (like Microsoft's), would they need separate Remote Panel licenses for each Virtual OS?  As an example, if a user has 5 Virtual XP OS's running, and a compiled VI running in each one, and they want 4 users to access the remote panel for each VI running, would they need 1 20-user RP license, or 5 5-user licenses?

Hi Steve,

 I am just going now, but I will look into this tomorrow - if you dont get an answer by the morning.

My first question is, if you have one instance of XP and you deploy and exe with remote panels, with 4 users - how many would you need?

My guess is each instances of XP would need to be licensed indivually and therefore you would need licenses for each instance of XP (and then what ever the users effect is).

Kind Regards,

Steve257,

As far as licensing is concerned running the built application in a virtual machine is no different than running it on a separate physical machine. Each virtual machine would need its own remote panel license in order to accept more than one remote panel connection.

Your customer would need 5 5-user licenses.

Hi All,

I would like to confirm that your cusomter would need 5 5-user licenses.

Sorry my previous reply, it was out of office hours!
