what is the differene between labview 6.1 and 2009
Solved!
LabVIEW 6.1 is not sufficient to get the application builder, unless it is LabVIEW 6.1 professional. Is it?

If they're charging anymore than that, it's a ripoff and they're hoping to find someone who absolutely has to have 6.1 and is willing to pay for it.
Older, unactivated versions have a certain value that should be similar to the difference between the full price of the new version and the upgrade price to the newest version. If it were much cheaper, everybody would buy an old version on ebay , activate it in their name, and then upgrade it at a heavy discount. Right? 😉
This means any unused old LabVIEW professional license could be worth almost $2000. Of course I don't know the details, just guessing. 😄
(Hey, I still have an entire LabVIEW 4.0 FDS somewhere, that I won at a raffle at a LabVIEW meeting in the mid nineties. I am sitting on a goldmine here!!! This was from way back in the days where we got a full set of printed manuals, about six inches of shelf space! :)))
I think it is also possible to transfer an activated license to a new owner, but that would involve NI for the license transfer. I don't know the details.

i have the student edition and I new the application builder i was wondering for a cheaper alternative then buying it for 1000$ thats why i looked at the 6.1. Do you have any ideas
I would think that the Student edition license should not allow you to use it with the application builder. The student edition is for personal educational use, and distributing built applications would not be in that spirit. 🙂
Quote from the datasheet:
The LabVIEW Application Builder is included with the LabVIEW Professional Development System, and is available as an add-on for the Full Development System and Base Package.
----> No mention of student edition!

Even if the package is claimed to be unopened. It may still be activated as the CD(s) is only a storage/transport medium. If I remember correct the serial was printed on the CD envelope or the lovely library set of documentation that I miss sometimes. I find it hard to think that somebody purchased a Labview pro and never used it.
