NI TestStand
license for teststand and labview
From the TestStand Supplemental Documentation:
The TestStand Debug Deployment Environment License gives you maximum flexibility for deploying TestStand and LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio-based systems. This license allows you to install the development versions of TestStand, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, along with any corresponding add-on toolkits, so that you can debug your test application on your deployed test station. This license does not allow the ability to perform any development tasks within the TestStand Sequence Editor or programmatically using the TestStand API. The TestStand Sequence Editor (SeqEdit.exe) can be used for debugging, not for development, when used with this license.
The intent of this license is to allow you to debug deployed projects/code on a test station, not for development purposes. You will NOT be able to use the main environment (the TestStand Sequence Editor) if you have the debug deployment license. If you are looking to start a TestStand project from scratch using TestStand as the sequencer and LabVIEW for the Code Modules (and maybe for the operator interface) you will need to buy a TestStand Development License
The TestStand Development System License is required for any test sequence development and/or editing of existing TestStand sequence files that you perform within the TestStand Sequence Editor (SeqEdit.exe) or programmatically using the TestStand API. This license is a superset of the Custom Sequence Editor License below.
However, if you want to develop code modules in LabVIEW to be called from TestStand, and not just debug them, you will also need a LabVIEW development license, if you don't already have one.
