Reactivating LabVIEW Community Edition

To reactivate your LabVIEW Community Edition you typically need to renew the license annually through the NI website. This edition is free for non-commercial use but requires a manual renewal to trigger the licensing system.

1. Visit the Renewal Page: Go to the LabVIEW Community Edition page.
2. Log In: Ensure you are logged into the NI account that you use with the NI License Manager on your computer.
3. Renew Your License: Click on the "Renew Your License" link on the page.
4. Trigger Activation: In many cases, simply clicking the "Download Now" button and starting the download (even if you cancel it halfway) is enough to trigger the system to register a new 1-year license to your account.
5. Update in NI License Manager:
• Open NI License Manager.
• Ensure you are logged in.
• Select "Check my account for licenses" to refresh your local license status.

Next Steps

• If the system does not recognize your account, try disabling IPv6 in your network adapter settings and use only IPv4.
• Ensure you have the Community Edition installed. If you accidentally installed the Professional version you must log out, re-download the Community installer while logged in and then sign back into NI License Manager.
