having Trouble in activating labView community edition on iinux

[Majistor]

 

I'm not able to activate Community edition though the browser says , you are authenticated.

operating system : popos 22.04

LabView version: 2023 q1 community

the background of the image is the browser and the front one is the app.

Pardon me for any missing information , I will try to provide as soon as possible if required.

Did you download the community edition with the same account you used to activate it? If not, do what the message window says. You do not need to reinstall it after downloading.

[Majistor]

yeah , i did download with same account with which I'm using to activate.

are there any prior steps to get community license.

Check this out to see (a) if your version of Linux is compatible with the version of LabVIEW you are trying to install and (b) for details on How to Install.

Yes, the latest LabVIEW is still compatible with Pop_OS!, I can confirm.

Installation of the old versions was a bit tricky, because you have to change INSTALL script to support pop_os.

For the latest version - nothing special, just downloaded latest from NI web site, then installed this one, because Pop_OS! is Ubuntu 22.04:

Then executed "sudo apt install ni-labview-2024-community", that is all. On the first run the I need to login to my ni account to activate, without any problem.

I'm getting this error while installing labview2022 q3 but it did get installed and same problem of activation.

what steps did you follow to install version 2024 q3, i did try that but there also no success.

Can it be a issue with browser? I'm using Floorp.

Really nothing special, just download *.zip file from NI's "Download LabVIEW" web page, then go inside of the archive, install appropriate *.deb file, then install ni-labview-2024-community from command line, that is all.

I've used firefox web browser (shipped with pop_os, or installed from shop, I don't rememer). Technically on this installation the LabVIEW 2024 Q1 was already installed, so I just upgraded. Can repeat this experiment from the "scratch" with pop_os "out of the box" with all intermediate steps, but unfortunately have not much time till the end of this week.

[Majistor]

so , I'm thinking to refresh the os then.

When I was installing the LabVIEW 2023 Q3 Community Edition, I encountered the same issue. After consulting with NI's technical support, they suggested that the problem might be due to my company's network, which could be affecting the communication between NI's servers and my machine. I tried using my phone's hotspot to activate it, but the issue persisted. However, when I installed LabVIEW 2024 Q3, this method worked. I still don't know how to activate and use the 2023 Q3 version.
