Upgrade to LabVIEW 2024

[AlexKatsovich]

Hello,

I am using LabVIEW 2015 and would like to update to last version - 2024. 

For this first of all I downloaded the trial version and tried to recompile my projects. From 3 different projects I got not optimistic results:

1) First project compiled successfully.

2) Second project compilation fail with error (full error description is attached). Looks that compilation can done only activated version. I tried different variants in "Additional Exclusions" tab, but result was the same. 

3) Third project the LabVIEW crashed at all !!!

Few notes:

1) All these projects compiled successfully in 2015 version. 

2) Before build the application, I previewed the compilation and its works ok but after pressing "Build" button LabVIEW crashed (screenshot attached).

What can be the reason of this behavior. I must find the solution, because for me its "deal breaker" to get approvement to upgrade?

Thank you,

As clearly stated in the error, certain things are limited under evaluation with the advanced signal processing toolkit. Have you tried unchecking the "disconnect unused ...." option in the built spec?

This build specification uses VIs from Professional Package Advanced Analysis
which is currently in evaluation mode. During evaluation, LabVIEW is unable to
disconnect type definitions and remove unused polymorphic VI instances.

Choose a different option on the Additional Exclusions page and build the
application again.

Also be careful with the language to avoid ambiguities. LabVIEW is always compiled and if the run arrow is not broken, the compilation is fine. It seems you are talking about building a standalone executable as the only problem. Right?

Hi,

I tried to select "Disconnect unused SubVis..." it's not help. Also, I tried to select an option "Use LabVIEW 8.x file layout" under "Advanced" tab, still nothing.

Is it possible to get temporary (for few days) valid license for Professional version?

Thanks,

Alex

AFAIK such an option doesn't exist.

But you can always (try to) call NI and negotiate for such an option…

The main problems stays: you try to use an Evaluation version to create executable using "advanced" toolkits…

Thanks Guys for support!

Additional issue that I think depend to upgrade to new version:

Another project that I try to compile I got the error (1052) - incorrect filename (log is attached).

I found few files into llb with "?" as a part of llb that connected to locked project "NI_InternetTK_Core_VIs.lvlib" and exist in "Dependencies Vis". I can't change the filename and update the library because its locked. 

In LabVIEW_2015 everything complied without errors even the same llb exist as "Dependencies Vis", in new version I got the error.

I tried select the option "Remove unused members of project libraries" but in this case, no error received but LabVIEW crashed during the compilation. 

I found some posts with same issue and one of the solutions is remove this library from the project, but this option became disable when I select file/project to remove.

Any idea what can I do?

Thanks!
