I recently bought labview student edition. How many computers will the license allow me to download to? I want to have it on my school and personal computer.

Hi lucac005,
Usually it should be able to install upto 3 computers but I would suggest that you should check on the license agreement that came with your version of LabVIEW (e.g. if you have Academic Site Licenses or etc.).

This is an excerpt from the general license file previously mentioned:
If the SOFTWARE is a student edition (including SOFTWARE acquired
pursuant to a student install option license), you must (i) be a Student or an Instructor; (ii) have acquired
a student edition license; (iii) only, if you are a Student, use the SOFTWARE for your personal
education purposes and not for any other purpose, including research, professional, commercial, or
industrial purposes; and (iv) only, if you are an Instructor, use the SOFTWARE for your preparation for
classroom or lab coursework and not for any other purpose, including use in a classroom or lab,
research, professional, commercial, or industrial purposes. The SOFTWARE may be installed on up to
three computers. However, only you may use or otherwise run the SOFTWARE, and the SOFTWARE
may not be run concurrently (i.e., it may only be launched on one computer at a time).
This agrees with what is mentioned in the README FIRST document for the LabVIEW Student Edition:
Installation is
restricted to your personally owned computer. http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374075r.pdf
