Error 2: Failure to perform LabVIEW license activation

I bought and downloaded LabVIEW student edition. When i downloaded it, it all went fine. Then when i got to the page to put in a serial #, i put the one that the download gave me, and a message popped up saying, "Error 2: Failure to perform LabVIEW License Activation" So, i tried to look up the problem and it said to disable my firewall and restart my computer and try to download again from scratch. When i did all of that, it still had the same problem and the same message. I dont know what to do...
P.S. - I called the company that i bought the product from and they told me to call National Instruments and i did, the lady that answered was very rude and told me its not their problem, call the other company back. When i did, they said they were going to call NI. They called me back and told me to go to this site and post my question.

That is really strange if y ou called and some lady told you it wasn't her problem. If you got her name, you should contact customer service.
As a matter of fact, you should contact your local customer representative. Tell them you may become a long term client and wish to be treated that way..
If you cannot automatically activate the software over the internet and have tried several times, then calling in may be the only way. There are insatnces when you get the error message, but it still activates the software. Did you re-start LabVIEW to see if it is now activated? Did you try multiple times?

Error 2 failed to perform action labview license activation

Bonjour,
Quand j'installe Labview, à la fin de l'installation, j'obtiens le message d'erreur suivant :
"error 2 failed to perform action labview license activation"
Et quand j'essaye d'ouvrir Labview par lasuite j'obtiens ce message :
"Il se peut que l'installation de cette application soit corrompue. Essayer de réparer ce programme en utilisant la fonctionnnalité Ajout/Suppression de programmes du panneau de configuration Windows"
Seulement Labview n'apparait pas dans cette liste de programmes...
J'ai un numéro de série pour une licence étudiante que je rentre durant l'installation.
Merci de m'aider si quelqu'un a une solution.

Bonjour Vincent,
As-tu déjà retenté une réinstallation de LabVIEW ? L'erreur fait référence à une corruption d'installation.
Je te propose donc de désinstaller/nettoyer manuellement LAbVIEW ou en utilisant un "cleaner" type Windows Installer Cleanup Utility et de procéder ensuite à une réinstallation du logiciel.

Issues with labview on TestStand deployment system (wont run without a labview License)

I am trying to deploy a system using testStand to a deployment machine for the 1st time. I have built my installer and image files etc.The files install successfully on the target machine however when I try and run my program in TestStand operator mode I have getting errors relating to Labview. The only way I can get around these error is to activate a Labview License on the deployment machine, this is not viable.
The error I see when I disable my Labview License simply states an error occurred accessing the Labview ActiveX automation server.
I have included the run time engines etc in my installer. As this is my first build is there something obvious I have missed here??
Thanks for any input.
Vinny
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Vinny,
my first guess is that the setting for the LV adapter on the deployment machine is still configured for "LabVIEW Development Environment". You have to change this to "Runtime Engine".
hope this helps,

I get errors every time, Inserting a break right after the property node, I found that it does open excel with no active workbook. once the program runs to ompletion excel terminates. The error is on the line right after the property node executes.

Win7/64 bit and Audition 3 license activation issue

I saw some early discussions on other forums regarding this. Due to a mobo failure I had to rebuild my PC. Because it was an old mobo, I basically built from the ground up, now running a much faster system with the OS as noted above (Win7 Pro/64 bit sp1). I install Audition 3 (running compatibility mode to XP sp3) and activate it. Within about 3 days it pops up with a "license activation is no longer valid" error. Adobe has not been able to successfully solve the issue as after re-activating again, it will fail within a few days again.
I did read some reports that anti-virus programs can interfere with a registry setting required for retaining activation. I do use AVG (albeit the free version), and after the latest re-install turned it off prior to re-installing Audition. I also recently downloaded a series of Win7 KB patches, some as I recall were to deal with compatibility issues. whether that will help we will see.
I can't afford an upgrade at this time, and would like to see 3/3.0.1 remain activated.
Thoughts? Fixes? Patches? Voodoo spells to apply?
TIA

@HCH_50
I am not sure whether this will solve but you can try this
1. repair Outlook from control pannel
2. repair NOS from control pannel
3. Repair Sync from NOS sync option
4. Create new profile in Outlook
5. Restart Pc and then try

Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
Error (2606)
Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
Recommended Action
To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
I received this error back:
Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server. After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
Here are my server details
VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

Hi there,
How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
Thanks!

Error 2: Failed to perform Action

I used the Program > Uninstall to remove all the NI Software from my PC due to a largenumber of issues in the dev encironment.
I then went to reinstall just LabVIEW 2014. I now get an error: "Error 2: Failed to perform ACtion Liscence Manager Updating OS Compatibility." The next dialog is "Unknown Error (no details)" and then the install exits.
If I look at Programs and Features, I see that the only NI program installed was the NI Customer Experience Improvement Program (irony...)
One KB Article suggsting installing the NI Update Service, but that failed too.
I have tried registry cleaning and MS Fix It, still no help.
I cant go back to a restore point, since there is a restore point created for each NI software (100+), and by default windows seems to only store the last 20 or so.
I really do not want to reformat since I have other software that is a pain in the butt with liscencing to re-setup.
I have re-downloaded the LV2014 installer from the website twice, no improvement.
Kenny

I would recommend creating a service request to work with an NI Applications Engineer on this issue:

Supplementary error service failure 8520

hello
I just bought a used blackberry 8520 from a mobule service centre because my bb 9000 was stolen . thisphone has some problem everytime I reboot the access bar doesnt reach to end till its not dissconnected , and once I start the phone everytime there is a message SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICE ERROR : SYSTEM FAILURE . I cannot activate my BIS , my BBM. WIFI and other features like sms, normal phone is working perfectly fine though. Please help kindly

Hello !
Firstly, SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICE ERROR, is not an error to be worried upon.
It is highlighted mostly after every call which You make it from your BlackBerry Smartphone.
Secondly for activating BIS, you need to contact your service provider.
Once activated, you'll get to see "EDGE" symbol on your homescreen, near network strength signals.
Hope this resolves your Problem!

License Activation After Installation of an Windows 7 Image

I have a volume license installed on a image that I am deploying to machines in my office. After installation of the image on the computer I have to reactive the license. Is this normal procedure of is there someway I can ensure that the license
is activated after deployment so I can skip this step of the setup process?

It is required that license activation occurs on each machine, after Windows is installed on each machine.
Every Windows license is individuated for every machine (a unique CMID is generated).
This is especially important for imaged/cloned machines. Are you using sysprep? Are you performing a rearm prior to image capture?
You can have the activation occur automatically. Are you using MAK or KMS ?

QuickTime 7 error: changes duration when performing Add and Scale

Sometimes, when using "Edit - Add to Selection & Scale" to place an image over a portion of a movie, QuickTime Player 7 will incorrectly change the duration of the movie, sometimes increasing the time by HOURS!
This may be an old problem, but I couldn't find any mention of it in the past year on the forum.
To make it easy to reproduce, I created the following AppleScript. Usually I can only get 5 to 10 iterations before failure.
(* Demonstrate QuickTime bug
This script demonstrates an error that QuickTime Player 7 commits when adding an image to a movie.
(This error also occurs when performing this operation manually, but it's faster to use AppleScript to demonstrate it.)
R. Lougheed, December 2010
set maxTestCount to 90 -- QuickTime has a limit of 99 tracks
set sampleMovie to (choose file with prompt "Select a movie" default location (path to movies folder) without invisibles)
tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
activate
close every document saving ask
open sampleMovie
set movieRef to (a reference to document 1)
-- get a frame to paste in
tell movieRef
set movieDuration to duration
tell me to set midTime to round (movieDuration / 2)
set current time to midTime
copy
end tell
end tell
set inTime to round (movieDuration / 3)
set outTime to 2 * inTime
set successCount to 0
set newMovieDuration to movieDuration
repeat until ((newMovieDuration ≠ movieDuration) or (successCount > maxTestCount))
with timeout of (1 * hours) seconds -- default timeout is 2 minutes
tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
activate
tell movieRef
select at inTime to outTime
add with scaled -- this should NOT change the duration of the movie
set newMovieDuration to duration
if newMovieDuration = movieDuration then set successCount to successCount + 1
end tell
end tell
end timeout
end repeat
activate
if newMovieDuration = movieDuration then
display dialog ("QuickTime Player successfully ran " & successCount & " Add-with-scale operations.") buttons {"Great!"} default button 1
else
display dialog ("QuickTime Player erroneously changed the movie duration after " & successCount & " successful operations.") buttons {"Bummer"} default button 1
end if

Thank you very much Hiroto !! But I've still some issue that I can't resolve by my self...
I don't understand how to take this script (who works very well) and to use it in a different file. Actually, I wanna ask this script by 6 different other applescript file with a different movie (one in English, one in French, one in German, one in Dutch, one in Spanish and one in Italian). So I try an applescript like this :
set FR to LancerFilm()
tell FR
quitQT()
set x to "/Desktop/Robin.des.bois.2010.DVDrip.VF.XVid.avi"
setFilm(x)
startFilm()
end tell
I tried this code at the end of the file who contains the main script and in an other file. For the first one, I receive an error message who says me : +Can't find the file /Desktop/Robin.des.bois.2010.DVDrip.VF.XVid.avi+. And for the second one (wich is the solution that I wanna have for the final script), the system says me : +<<scrip>> doesn't understand the message LancerFilm+.
If somebody can help me it will be awesome.
I have an other question. At the end of the movie what must I do to launch another movie, automatically (so in the same script) in loop ?
PS: Sorry for my pour English

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).

System Error 998 While loading the Labview Run-Time Engine

Hello.
I have a DLL made with LV 7.1 I run the dll using a C compiler and works great in WINXP, but cannot run in Win2K. Error is:
"System error 998 while loading the Labview Run-Time Engin(c:\program
files\National Instruments\Shared\Labview Run-Time\7.1\\lvrt.dll)
READVOLTAGE requires a version 7.1 (or compatible) Labview Runtime
Engine. Please contact the vendor of READVOLTAGE to correct this
problem"
READVOLTAGE is my function inside the dll. The runtime is already
installed. I tried it in another WINXP running machine and works fine.

This is actually a Microsoft bug with statically loaded DLLs. There are a couple of workarounds for it, and I have included two links below to posts that address this issue:
Not found error message from LabVIEW runtime when called from VC++ with statically linked MFC
I get error 998 when calling a LabVIEW buildt DLL from MSVC++
