My job involves developing LV code for machine automation.
Mostly I work on not more than two projects at a time so the current Activation of the license upto 3 PCs max, works fine.
I need the design environment for on the machine trials and changes to the build as otherwise I have to build on my laptop and transfer to the machine.
Recently there was a case where I needed more than three and one of the machines was not reachable immediately. So I am building on laptop and transferring to the machine.
I searched and got this article : https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000P7WFSA0&l=en-IN
My query is : They talk of Deactivation. But how will NI know unless it is reflected in their data base … for this we need an internet connection while deactivating ? If not when we try to activate the NI server may complain of too many installations ?
I am not very clear about this whole process of activation. ( In contrast some other software I have mandate to be connected to the net while deactivating and they also clamp a max number of : " moves" within one year. )
