Updated Dec 14, 2023

Environment

Software

  • LabVIEW
  • TestStand
  • VeriStand
  • LabWindows/CVI
  • NI License Manager

  • How do I transfer a license for NI software (LabVIEW, TestStand, VeriStand, or similar) to another user? 
  • How do I change the company ownership information for my NI licenses? For example, my company was recently acquired or divested.

Transfer a license within the same company

If you need to transfer a license to another employee at the same company, you can send an email to customerservice@ni.com with the following information: 

  • Serial Number (only for Single Seat Licenses)
  • New end user full name
  • New end-user email address
  • New end-user phone number
  • Web link to the public announcement (Optional. If you need to transfer between companies as part of a publicly announced/documented merger, acquisition, or divestiture, or due to a Company name change)
 

Transfer a license not within the same company 

A License Transfer form is required to be sent to customerservice@ni.com in the following cases:

  • Selling a License to an unrelated company/entity
  • Buying a license from an unrelated company/entity
  • A Partner/integrator delivering a license to an end customer


Once you have submitted the License Transfer request, NI will contact you to confirm the transfer. Please allow a few business days for the transfer request to be completed.
