Neil Pate Posted April 29, 2020 Report Posted April 29, 2020 So I have a commercial project I am developing a subset of in NXG (specifically I am using the Web Module) . Currently I am using 4.0. I am excited to try out the new version and have a few questions about 5.0 NXG Community Edition. Can I download and use it for my commercial application as I have a valid Software Reference Library license? Does it install to its own special location that is going to be different from 5.0 NXG full version? Am I crazy for attempting to install it straight onto my dev PC that I actually need to do work on? (NXG in a VM is a memorable experience for all the wrong reasons). Quote
LogMAN Posted April 29, 2020 Report Posted April 29, 2020 During installation you must accept the license agreement. Only for non-commercial use. It installs to "<National Instruments>\LabVIEW NXG 5.0" (same as pro) VM seems to work for me this time (probably because installation is actually offline). Quote

Do you know if I were to install it now and start to tinker with it I could then activate it with a Pro license when it is officially released in a few weeks time? I am certainly not going to be deploying my commercial application for a few months still. Quote
LogMAN Posted April 29, 2020 Report Posted April 29, 2020 You are unable to activate the community edition with a pro license. It is always activated with a 365-day community license. 1 Quote
Neil Pate Posted April 29, 2020 Author Report Posted April 29, 2020 Thank you. Sounds like I should just wait a few weeks for the official release of 2020 and 5.0 Quote

That's what VMs are for right? Quote
