Weaning off a license server

[gdargaud]

Hello all,

I need to take one of my devel system completely off-grid. I normally use a site license for all NI products but it won't be able to get in touch with the license server. I remember there's a way to obtain or generate a license file for offline use, I've done it a few years back. Can somebody point me to the right procedure, thanks.

PS: just upgraded to 2013sp2, where's the list of changes ?

I cannot assist you in generating a license, but applying a license file can done via the the License Manager found in All programs >> National Instruments item in Start menu.

Release documentation can be found in this page; take a look also to this other one that I consider very important for a developer.

Hello gdargaud, 

I think what you are looking for is a disconnected license.

You will want to contact your server administrator about this, as he is the one who will be able to generate this for you.  Also, your question is technically a volume license manager question, so you might find more luck searching on those forums if you find you have any additional questions on the topic.  

Best wishes!
