Any way to test teststand deployment without base deployment engine?

[Bloodrunner]

Hello,

      I am currently working on a teststand/labview program for the manufactuerer for my company. I would like to test the deployment files I have created but we do not have a base deployment engine license. Is there a way to get around this for testing purposes? I would like to be able to deploy this to a PC without the teststand/labview development system since that is what I will be deploying it to eventually.

Once you have created you deployment image you can deploy this on any system. Obvious you will not beable to test this if you haven't

a) already deployed the teststand runtime engine and user interface

b) and also the LV RTE.

But you can check that files should go to the desired location and that you have all the expected files.

But also you should a one deployment licence with the Developement TestStand System you brought.

If you install on the test machine, you will have an evaluation license you could use.  If you deploy, you wouldn't need LabVIEW Development on that machine as well.

Thanks for the response, I have both the teststand engine and the LV RTE installed on the target machine but I am still having some problems.How do I deploy the UI to the target machine? I was just running my sequence from the sequence editor on my development system, do I need to create a custom UI for the deployment?

Also I don't see anything about a deployment license with my develpment license info that I have, is there a way to evaluate the base deployment system?

You would need to deploy a User Interface.  You could include this in your deployed files (or just copy it to that machine).  There are several example user interfaces located in the <TestStandPublic>/UserInterfaces directory.  They will all work out of the box, but you also have the source code to customize them.

I do not believe there is a way to evaluate just the Base Deployment license.  The main difference is you cannot launch any Sequence Editors (including custom) and you do not have the ability to develop sequence files.
