Missing or Expired Plug-in cRIO

[iacopo.russo]

I am running LabVIEW 2009 SP1 on Windows 7. 

I have a cRIO-9022 which has been working just fine up until today.  

Today I open a LabVIEW project and instead of my cRIO target I see a warning with a message which says: 

"The plug-in for the selected item is not installed on your system or the plug-in has an expired license. Please contact National Instruments."

I have tried to follow the instructions here and I have a CD-ROM with the drivers v 12.1.0 but it gets stuck with an error when I try and select the distribution (see screenshot attached). 

I think the driver I have installed currently are v 3.6.0. but I can't find it on my computer and I don't know where to download them. 

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi iacopo, I haven't seen the message but the drivers don't have any expired date.

You don't have to activate the drivers, but modules such as "LabVIEW Real-Time Module" require.

According to your explanation, expired license causes the problem I guess.

When you launched NI License Manager, were there any expired license?

Thanks Emboar,

There did not seem to be any expired licences.

The problem solved itself after switching the computer off and on again.

Thank you,

Iacopo.
