Use of a second computer with only one license

[Rentner]

Hello,

I have purchased a full version of LabView for my company and have a corresponding license number.
The software is installed on a desktop computer.

Can I additionally install and use LabView on a tablet ? (without having to buy another license)

Note:   I am often on the road and therefore often cannot access the desktop PC.

We don't exactly know the type of license you have, but a good source is typically the General Purpose Software License document. It will have all the information you need.

Thank you very much for the reference to the document. I believe I have a computer-based license.
For this I have found an exception in the document under "License types" which allows the use on one computer at home. Since I am the only one who works with it, this rule can be applied to me.
If I cannot activate the software with my license number, I will have to call NI to get an unlock code for the tablet.

Thanks again for the help !

It should activate just fine. What is your LabVIEW version?

Use of LabVIEW on a tablet is probably not ideal. Do you have a keyboard&mouse for it?

Hello,
it is a SurfacePro3 from Microsoft.
I also have a keyboard and an external mouse or touchpad. This works quite well.

My main goal was to be able to work a little bit when I am on the road.

At the desktop PC the hardware is rather connected and you can work better with it.

In the meantime I was able to unlock the software with the serial number

as I tried it in the beginning. Why it did not work immediately I can not understand.
Now I am only once highly satisfied that the problem is solved and that I now can use

the time outside of the aboratory for working with LabView.

Thank you very much for your support in solving this problem.
