  • Can I use the applications(executables) created with a LabVIEW evaluation license for commercial purposes?
  • Can I distribute the applications(executables) created with a LabVIEW evaluation license to others?

Solution

According to General Purpose Software License Agreement - NI , the LabVIEW software under an evaluation license is intended strictly for internal evaluation purposes. You may install and use the software on one computer in your workplace for internal evaluation purposes only and for the limited period of the evaluation term.

It is not allowed to distribute or transfer any applications created with the evaluation version of LabVIEW. These applications are not considered authorized applications and cannot be used for commercial purposes.

If you need to distribute applications, please purchase a license. This will provide you with the necessary rights and support to use the software for commercial purposes.

Additional Information

The LabVIEW Professional Development System includes the Application Builder module, enabling you to generate executable files. If you wish to purchase a LabVIEW license, please contact your distributor or account manager, or visit ni.com to compare different choices and request a quote.
