Access to older versions of LabVIEW

[Matthew_RMIT]

Hi all,

To run some old VIs, I need an older copy of LabVIEW Professional (2010 - 2013).

I can see the appropriate downloads when I login with my university credentials (this is an Academic Volume Licence) but the appropriate links are 'grayed out' and it says I need a subscription licence or service agreement.

I have tried the student version of LabVIEW from 2013 and the VIs are able to be installed but won't load correctly - I'm assuming that this version is limited in some way / missing some libraries that the VIs require.

So, is there any way for me to get access to a LabVIEW professional from 2013 with my university's AVL and if not, what is involved in getting a subscription licence?

Cheers

This is the main problem with your question: which libraries are missing?

Can you install them with your actual LabVIEW version? Then you can load/run those VIs also without installing an outdated version…

This is a completely different problem!

To learn about the features of the AVL you use you need to ask your license admin.

To buy a subscription license you  need to actually buy one: but then you probably/maybe still see those missing libraries…
