Updated Jan 9, 2026

Reported In

Software

  • Vision Development Module
  • LabVIEW

Driver

  • Vision Acquisition Software

Operating System

  • LabVIEW Real-Time (NI Linux Real-Time)

Issue Details

I know that the Vision Development Module Run-Time License is required when my LabVIEW application includes Vision functions.

How about Real-Time (RT) applications? Do I require a Run-Time license for my RT executable?

Solution

No, you do not need a Vision Development Module Run-Time License for Real-Time (RT) applications. The license is already included with the hardware that ships with the RT operating system.

Additional Information

Refer to Licensing NI Vision Software to identify which scenarios require which Vision licenses.
