Why do I get "Evaluation Expired" message in MAX with Switch Executive

[Howardgw]

Why do I get �Evaluation Expired� message in MAX with Switch Executive on a PXI rack, which has a �Ghosted� image from and identical PXI rack(no problem with this PXI rack), when logged in as USER in Windows2000, but not when logged in as a Local Administrator. When logged in as Administrator in Windows2000 running a TestStand sequence, using a �C� code action step calling the nise.dll is ok, but not when logged in as local user. The alias switch name is unknown.

What version of NISE are you using?

[Howardgw]

The file is version 1.0.4.109

[Guy Ferraro]

You have an older version of NI Switch executive. The problem will be fix by upgrading to 1.0.2. Contact your NI Sales engineer to get a free upgrade.

Iam a little bit confused. The version Iam using is 1.0.4.109 and you are saying version 1.0.2 is newer?

[Guy Ferraro]

1.0.4.109 is a dll version number where as 1.0.2 is a NISE version number. The dll version number does not always line up with the product version number.

NISE 1.0 has a dll version of 1.0.1.109
NISE 1.0.1 has a dll version of 1.1.4.1
NISE 1.0.2 has a dll version of 1.2.4.7
NISE 2.0 has a dll version of 2.0.0.45154

The best way to find the product number is to launch the application and click on Help and About. You NISE version is probably 1.0 and NISE 1.0.2 will fix your licensing problem.
