Issue Details

I'm working on an open-source project and want to run the VI Analyzer in GitHub Actions using NI’s LabVIEW Docker image (nationalinstruments/labview:2025q3-linux). I have a valid LabVIEW Development Full license, and the container will be used only for CI. The license prohibits making container instances available outside my organization. Does that mean I can't use it in public GitHub workflows? 

Solution

You can use the NI-hosted LabVIEW Docker images for CI/CD in public repositories. The license restriction applies to publishing custom images for public use. NI-hosted images are allowed for CI/CD workflows, even in public repos. However, custom images should only be used internally within an organization and not shared publicly.
