Can't activate LabVIEW 8.5

[mdannenb]

I'm getting the following error message when activating LabVIEW 8.5 from First Robotics Org.:

	Error Message		Serial Number M64X87916 was not found OR does not match the product or version you're trying to activate. Please check your Serial Number, Product Version, and Product and try again.

Also, the "First Robotics Competition" is not showing up under the NI License Manger as shown here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2435

The following is what I'm seeing:

How do I get the activation process to complete without errors?

Also, I'm trying to install and activate this product for a class being held tonight in a lab of more than 30 machines and would like to avoid having to activate every installation, is there a way to avoid that?

Hi Mark,

It looks like you're trying to install the software from two years ago. The license files are only valid for one year, which means you can't activate the software. Do you have the installation discs from last year's competition? You can still activate and use that software until the kickoff in January.
