Issue Details

I have purchased a LabVIEW license for Windows Operating System. Can I activate LabVIEW on Linux OS using the same Serial Number or reverse?

Solution

A LabVIEW license can be used on both Windows and Linux, so you can activate it on either operating system using the same serial number, and the same applies in reverse.
