Possible to get Teststand and LabVIEW on memory stick instead of DVD's?

[DrOnline82]

Hi.

I had to reinstall my work laptop and then I realize I cannot find my external DVD drive. My laptop doesn't have an interal drive. I have a bunch of those blue DVD folders NI sends out with the various TestStand and LabVIEW versions, but they are pretty useless to me in that situation.

So I was wondering if anybody knows what my best option is to get TestStand 2016 and LabVIEW 2017 32-bit. Does NI send out memory sticks at all?

And also the device driver package. The 12GB one. It currently downloads at 50-100KB/s, which is... not good. I need that one as well.

Hope anybody has any ideas! If not, I will just order an external DVD drive.

From what I have been hearing, it sounds like you specifically have to request the USB drive.  Just give your local rep a call and get one on order.

Yeah you're right. It's what I thought as well. I just e-mailed them to see what they have to say.

Thanks.

They quickly e-mailed me back asking for my license key, a description of what I needed, and my shipping address. So this is the way to do it.
