Are LabView licenses for Windows transferrable to Mac OS X?

I can't seem to find any information on this subject on the National Instruments or in a search on this forum, so hopefully someone can answer these questions.
My lab has 3 licenses for the use of LabView 8.5 in our lab, although the instructions that I've been given to install LabView involve downloading the trial software from National Instruments' website, and then using the activation code to activate the software. Trouble is, the trial software is for Windows only, and I was hoping to be able to run LabView on the Mac in our lab.
Are the licenses for LabView transferrable across platforms, or does my lab need to specifically purchase a version of LabView for the Mac? If the licenses *are* transferrable, how do I request a CD for the Mac installers if we've already purchased LabView for Windows? Furthermore, if I'm able to use these licenses on a Mac, is it possible to install the Windows version on my Mac on my Boot Camp partition, and install the Mac version on my Mac OS X partition and only use up one license? I'm not sure if all of our hardware has drivers that will run under Mac OS X on an Intel Mac, and I don't want to be penalized for this by having to use up two licenses on the same machine.
Any answers to these questions would be much appreciated.

Hi SimX,
The LabVIEW licenses are not transferrable directly, since LabVIEW for Windows and LabVIEW for Mac are entirely different products and have different installers.
In this case, you should contact your local sales representative to see what your options are. You can find the email contact information at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nicc.call_me?p_lang_id=us, or call in to 866-ASK-MYNI (866-275-6964).

  • License for Windows and/or Mac

    Hello everybody,
    I was thinking about purchasing Web Premium CS4 and was wondering about the license. Currently I'm running on a Windows 7 desktop and was considering purchasing a Mac laptop. Would I be able to use the same key on the desktop and laptop or can I only install on one machine? Also, would a Windows key work on a Mac copy even if it is the only copy installed?
    Thanks

    Just spent 60 minuts with Adobe Lack of Support.   Basically, you can use one license on 2 machines but you can only use one machine at a time according to person I chatted with.
    I would say no to using a MAC version license on a PC as they know just from the license number which product it belongs to.

    The fact that if you use 1280 it allows successful calls suggests your line is set as CPS , carrier pre select, if this has just happened it suggests a CPS provider has taken your 'line' for calls if not for line rental, but it's not properly set up otherwise calls would terminate it would just be billed by the mystery CPS provider
    Have you had any approach by company's that sell this product ?, sometimes ISP's who's product includes calls can use CPS, if not, and you haven't been 'slammed' you need BT to set your line as non CPS , so BT handle your calls automatically without using 1280
    This should be easy to get done, but the drones that answer the calls probably won't have a clue, hence the 'it must be your handset' nonsense they come up with, report the line faulty,don't accept an appointment, and insist they sent the problem to what was once called BT Operate, they look after the telephone exchange equipment and it's 'data',

  • Portege R500 - Does Toshiba sell OEM licenses for Windows 7

    Hi
    I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP.
    I have now installed a Windows 7 version without activation to see if all drivers work (Windows 8 is not supported as far as I know).
    All looks good and Windows is telling me now as expected it is not genuine and offers me to buy the license, but when I go to MS it fails (it seems MS does not sell Windows 7 anymore).
    Does Toshiba sell OEM licenses for Windows 7 for a R500 ?
    It would be a shame to throw it away because of that.
    Thank you
    Markus

    Toshiba offers notebooks with preinstalled recovery image and offered version is activated. With other words when you buy notebook you buy also valid licence for preinstalled OS version.
    Toshiba supports newer operating systems too. As you can see on Toshiba download page you can find drivers, tools and utilities for Win7 64bit and use them after Win7 installation.
    Unfortunately Toshiba doesn't offer licence for it. All you must do it to obtain Win7 64bit with valid licence.

  • Does OS X Lion have a license for 2-3 home Macs?

    Does OS X Lion have a license for 2-3 home Macs?

    If you download Lion from the App Store you can install it on as many computers that you personally own. It can be re-downloaded from every computer running Snow Leopard and logged into the App Store with the same Apple ID used to purchase Lion.

  • Can't Download Safari for Windows from a Mac

    Hello All,
    iTunes is no problem, but Safari and QuickTime won't let a Mac download the Windows versions. With iTunes, one can click a link to go to the Windows version, but there is no link for Safari or QuickTime. I have a stand-alone Windows XP SP3 computer. Although I don't use it on the Internet, I test web sites locally on it, so I need Safari to ensure compatibility. Does anyone know how to get to the Windows version from a Mac?
    Jim

    Sanjac--
    I'm not sure you can; it's determined by your op system. Even if you could load Safari for Windows on a Mac, you'd actually have to be running Windows--and if that were the case, I suspect you wouldn't have had to post the question.
    Best of luck-

  • Best way to run a LabVIEW VI written for Windows in a MAC OSx environment

    I have written a VI in LabVIEW 8.6 under Windows XP and compiled it into a .exe.  Now I want to run this executable on a MAC OSx machine.  What is the best way to do this without having to purchase a LabVIEW for MAC license or Windows VM software for the MAC?
    Thank you,
    cjl
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    cjl,
    Yes, that should run.   Except.... Does your program use any hardware?  Does it use any Windows-specific functions (from the Platform folder)? Does it rely on a particular video driver or soundcard? Does it rely on right click mouse actions?  All of these kinds of things may or may not work because they are closely linked between the Windows OS and the underlying computer hardware.  While the software itself will problaby execute, the programmay not work as expected if some of these dependencies are handled differently by the Apple hardware.
    I have not used VM but running native under Bootcamp works pretty well, again allowing for the issues mentioned above.
