Now I want to use the software again but I cant find were to download it or how to activate it. I have in my e-mail the activation codes but they dont seem to work. what can I do? thanks for your time

If you can't find how to download it, how can you know that the activation codes don't work?

If you are still a student, you can get the newest version for free here.

There's an option here on the webpage to register your NI products, and to do that, you have to copy and paste the activation codes. I do that but they dont work... anyway, thank you for the studen edition trial link!

It is not a trial. You can renew for free every 6 months as long as you remain a student.

It's rather unlikely he's a student.

Hello Darent,

The activation codes are specific to each computer, so if you changed your PC, you need to generate new activation codes or activate your software using the serial number.

You can register your serial number on the next page, so you can download versions of LabVIEW activated with that serial number.

Let me know if you have further doubts, best regards.

I am not making any extra assumptions beyond what I read here. If he's trying to use the student edition, he must be a student. If he's no longer a student, the student edition is offlimits anyway, bought or not. 😉

That's right altenbach, I agree with you that in this case it is best to follow the link you shared, thank you very much for the input.
