Solution
In 2017, NI transitioned macOS and Linux software distribution to online downloads, making it faster and easier for macOS and Linux users to obtain their software. Now, to download macOS or Linux software, users will need to sign in to their
NI User Account associated with their active service program.
After downloading, you will
not receive a request for a serial number or activation code. Because a valid serial number has already been associated with your user account, NI has already verified access to software for macOS/Linux before downloading the software. Therefore, NI software does not need to verify a serial number or activate the software after installation on these Unix-based systems.
You will have
full functionality of LabVIEW or other NI software after installing it on your macOS or Linux OS machine.
