LabVIEW Subscription and Perpetual Licenses Now Available

[EricR]

As of November 18, NI now offers both subscription and perpetual licenses for LabVIEW and the LabVIEW+ Suite. Perpetual licenses for additional test software will be available in February 2025. 

If you purchased a perpetual license for LabVIEW before 2022, you will receive an email this week with details on renewing service for your license. If you do not receive this, please reach out to services@ni.com. You will either need your perpetual serial number or other information related to this prior purchase. You will not be required to purchase a new perpetual license, and there will be no late fees. This offer is good through the end of June 2025. New perpetual licenses can be purchased online on ni.com or through distributor partners. 

Over the past two years, you all have provided us with feedback about the shift to subscription. You have shared frustrations and concerns about the personal and business impacts this has had on you and your organizations. Thank you for taking the time to provide that feedback. It has helped us better understand your needs and influenced the actions we are now taking. 

In addition to these changes, you can find more information on our software roadmaps on ni.com, here. These roadmaps are maintained by our product managers and are updated quarterly. We invite you to review them and provide feedback to us. We are committed to you and investing in our software platform so that it continues to help you solve your test and measurement challenges now and in the future.

For some reason today I am receiving a notification email of each end every post from the prior thread "LabVIEW subscription model for 2022".  Yippie.

I believe that every single post in that thread was set to "mark as solution", which sends notifications.  The "Top solution authors" side panel went absolutely nuts, assigning people a huge amount of solution author credits, though it seems to have been reverted and will probably fix itself soon... but right now it looks like this:

Will this apply to academic licenses (campus-wide, department-wide, etc.)?

RIP native Datagrid control 😞

Nice to have perpetual back though!

Apologies to everyone. 

The many extra notifications that everyone got was not an intended part of the post.  We suspended the thread as soon as we detected the problem and we are investigating the cause.

I heard they were going to datagrid at NI week (or whatever it's called these days).   Was it on the roadmap and they took it off?

The Datagrid was taken off of the current roadmap due to other priorities. Other things took priority due to customer feedback (user groups, GDevCon, etc.), laws being passed in Europe and the US (security related), and, to a much lesser degree, some shifts inside of NI. The Champions were getting a monthly update to the roadmap for a little while and we usually had questions on what caused the moves.

This is a very good news, Many thanks to the team.
As a Test engineer consultant, it is easier to convince and propose to industries and engineers to select LabView as their Software development Language. Of course, LabView has already a lot to offer. I personally feel confident when proposing LabView. The Perpetual Licenses help to open the discussion; Then came the flow of information, software capabilities, RT, FPGA, ....
