Why Are There Yearly Full Labview Installations Versus Upgrades?

I highly recommend keeping your SSP up to date. With that said though it doesn't mean that you must upgrade to the new version when it comes out. We often lag behind and even skip versions here. We maintain our SSP so we get the updates but if there isn't a compelling reason or we are in the middle of a major project we hold off updating our version of LabVIEW. However, we like the ability to upgrade when we want and find value in the continued support so it is a given that we maintain our SSP.

I wish I could keep my SSP up to date.  With money getting tighter and tighter my company did not want renew my SSP.

Mark,

That's exactly what we do as well.  We have an SSP but only install new versions of Labview every 2-3 years.

If LabVIEW is a critical part of your work than you should really keep the SSP up to date. It can be more costly down the road if you let it lapse.
