Is there a license fee to NI for build exequtables?

[Ricki001]

I have built an executable program with LabView, to be run with LabView Runtime Engine.

I wonder if there are a fee (connected to a type of license) to National Instruments if this is distributed to a customer?

This executable is a Viewer and not for sale.

This Viewer do only view results of measurements on a specific product, and will only be usable for customer of this product.

The RunTimeEngine can be used for free.

You need Deploy licenses for specific products like Vision or OPC-UA…

As already mentioned, some tools/libraries require separate licensing.
Assuming you have Professional or Application builder (or Community for personal use) you can build executables and install and run on as many computers are you like without any fee/license in most instances. Personally i've only done a couple of applications using IMAQdx that required a license, all other test programs, database viewers and stuff required none.

See Deployment and Debug Licenses for NI Software to check if you need a deployment license.
