My research suggests that you would receive a more specific error message, stating that the license is not active, rather than a resource error, if your software wasn't properly activated.
Even so, please check in the license manager on the deployment machines that a 2013 runtime license has been activated as this does seem to be necessary when upgrading according to this knowledge base article:

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the advice. I had to restore all my machines so i could run production on the 2012 version. Initially when i tried to run my executable on the deployed PCs i was getting an error saying my run time engine was not compatable even after selecting it for my additional installer. So i had to go to download the run time engine from NI website to run my executable. Once i downloaded the run time engine to the PCs i activated using the SN. But i did not activate my vision with their SN. I read the article in the link you provided and it stated;
As of August 2009, the NI Vision Development Module Run-Time Engine License also is capable of activating the Vision Acquisition Software License. Therefore you no longer have to buy a separate license for Vision Acquisition Software for the target machine.
So in essence i should not of had to activate the vision with the seperate SN.
Thanks

Hi Damien,
I'm sorry to hear you've had so much trouble with the upgrade. Are you saying you have now switched back to the 2012 distribution and it is working OK?
I will continue to follow this up further and check why this behaviour occured. I will get back to you on this thread if I find anything.
Best Regards,
Chris

Hey Chris,
Yes that is correct i have reverted back to the developer suite 2012 version and have restored my deployment machines to the 2012 executables also. I am away for the next 2 weeks on vacation. So i will install this new software onto a new hard-drive and go from there once i return. So if it does not work I can replace the hard-drive and production will not be down for too long.I really appreciate your assistance in this.
Damien
