Remove student edition watermark from a professional edition of labview

[Dashiva]

I have a professional and a student edition of Labview.  I have installed them in two different folders altogether so that nothing could "mix - and - match."  So far nothing I seem to do removes this watermark from my professional edition, which is both a matter of annoyance and also something I don't want my customers to see (since my software is legitimate).  Help please!

Have you tried uninstalling the student edition?  In reality, I don't think there is any difference between the student edition and the professional edition.  The only difference is the way they are licensed.  Look into the NI License Manager under the National Instruments folder of your Start / Programs menu to see if your license is setup properly for the Professional edition.

I love VMware. It is great for keeping these kinds of things separate like you need to do.

I will check into that. Never heard of it before.

VMware? It lets you create virtual machines. A lot of people love their Macintosh but want the Windows version of LabVIEW. You can install Windows on a virtual machine and install LabVIEW on that and run Windows like an application right on your Mac. The virtualization program that works best on a Mac is Parallels.

Bump what? You said you were going to look into virtual machines, which is what was suggested. What are you expecting us to say?

Did you look into the license manager?

He said that it worked for a MAC (I have a PC), plus that didn't seem to be a free option either (with a cursory glance).  

I would also like to know how this occured since I tried keeping everything seperate.  

I also prefer to not have to download more software for an issue that shouldn't be there.  Was hoping there might be more thoughts on the issue.

So another words the problem still persists.

Yes I looked at the license manager, and everything appears to have retained its appropriate serial numbers.  When I load up labview it even says the correct numbers for the appropriate versions.
