Begin by contacting your software administrator to determine how your school handles NI Software student licenses. Then use the appropriate section below.
Student Install Option (SIO)
- Request SIO serial number.
- Your IT staff may need to contact NI if they cannot find the serial number or if they are not sure whether they have an AVL.
- Note that our support team cannot and will not give serial numbers nor activation codes directly to students.
- Follow Serial Number Activation steps in Activating NI Software with a Single-Seat License to activate software.
- Note: For a serial number-based activation, an active NI User account is required.
The Student Install Option licenses automatically expire after one year. After expiration, contact your license administrator to renew your license with a new serial number.
User-Based Licensing
- Contact your IT admin and provide the requested information, which may include:
- Your full name.
- The software you want to download and activate.
- Computer ID (in case offline activation is needed).
- Then follow steps in Activate NI Software as Part of a Volume License Agreement to connect to the school's Volume License Server
