Vision Builder AI run-time is the same installer as the full version of Vision Builder AI, it just requires a different serial number to activate certain aspects of the software. This can create a problem for the user, as it might activate the full version of Vision Builder AI as an evaluation version. To remove that evaluation version and just have the activated copy of the run-time, you can remove the .lic file associated with the evaluation copy and just keep the run-time .lic file.
To do this, navigate to C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\License Manager\Licenses and remove the
VisionBuilderAI...license files that are not named
VisionBuilderAI_RT_PKG....
Now the only option that should appear in NI License Manager is the Vision Builder AI run-time.
