Vision 8.2.1 evaluation Problem

[Steve SO]

Hi All

I had installed the Vision 8.2.0 Development Module evaluation mode and license day is expired before. Now, as i know that Vision Development Module upgraded to 8.2.1 & 8.5 version so  i want to try its new features for those 8.2.1 or 8.5 evaluation version first and then to suggest my boss to buy the license. However, when i set-up the Vision Development Module 8.2.1 version. NI Vision Assistant 8.2 can be work and show the 30 days evaluation. However, i can't use the NI Vision 8.2 in the LabVIEW 7.1 and it will show the message-"1074396157" and say that is the unlicensed mode. Therefore, i checked the license day by NI License Manager and it show that NI Vision Assistant 8.2 ="30th Oct 2007"(30-days) but NI Vision is indicate the expired license file and the expired date is the expired date of the prevision Vision 8.2.0 Development Module?

I don't know why i can not use the NI-Vision 8.2 in the LabVIEW 7.1 and the license day is the previous expired day of Vision 8.2.0 Development Module

Thanks

Hi Steve.
I cannot imagine that you get another 30 day trial period by installing an updated version of the Vision Development Module - although I haven't done this yet.
I would prevent any further trial periods for a specific product as soon as the trial period has expired once.

P.S.: Do you know NI's Vision Forum?

Hello Steve,

NI-Vision 8.5 is compatible with LabVIEW 7.1, so I suggest you uninstall NI-Vision 8.2 and NI-Vision 8.2.1.  When you then install NI-Vision 8.5, you should have no trouble using the Vision VIs from NI-Vision 8.5 in evaluation mode.  You can download NI-Vision 8.5 from this link.

T. McCarty. Is it true that uninstalling the previous version(s) will allow for evaluating the successor? Or did I miss in understanding your advice?

Hello all,

I am new here. I have problem to upgrade my LabView. First, I have installed LabView version 8.0 and then upgrade to 8.2.1 version. This installation CD I got from my lecturer and her give to me for use in my final year project. The problem now is, I can open the LabView 8.0, but after I installed the 8.2.1, this LabView version can not open and it show it is evaluation only and the serial number is not matched. When I asked to my lecturer, she told me the serial number is still same with the 8.0 version and it available to upgrade for 3 years. I also, try to ask to the technical support when I attend the LabView seminar here, and their said try to send the serial number to the NI support to check if there have any problem. But until now, there is no reply from them, and I hope anybody from here will help me and give me the idea what I have to do...

Thanks 😃

Hello Guenter,

My understanding is that each version of an NI software product is treated as a separate product for activation purposes.  I recommended that Steve install NI-Vision 8.5 so he could gain access to the NI-Vision 8.5 VIs for 30 days.  I recommended that Steve uninstall NI-Vision 8.2 because his evaluation period for that product has expired.  I recommended that Steve uninstall NI-Vision 8.2.1 because NI-Vision 8.5 is superior to NI-Vision 8.2.1, and he does not need both products installed on his machine to gain access to Vision VIs.
