[dsg-hdice] Labview licenses

[Peter Bonneau]

Hi Mike,

Jab has switched to a site-wide group license for LabVIEW. On upgraded 
computers, the license is checked at the startup of LabVIEW by a central 
Jlab license-server maintained by Kelvin Edwards.  DSG is not the site 
administrator for this license.

When DSG works on a service request on a LabVIEW based system, we 
typically upgrade that system to the latest LabVIEW version with the 
site-wide license.

The upgraded NMR rack in the HDice lab has the latest LabVIEW version 
with the Jlab group license #Z71M58668.
When the cRio in the pump cart was replaced, DSG also upgraded that 
system with the latest then available LabVIEW with the group license.

When DSG upgrades our development machines, we obtain the installation 
software from the Jlab shared drive or National Instruments and 
configure the NI license manger program to obtain the license from the 
"labview-lm.jlab.org"  central server.

Regards,
Peter

Hello Amanda,

   I made a recent survey of the PC's in the HDice
  lab and found that four of them are running Labview with
  licenses from the DSG. The DF (BASS-PC) and
  PD (HDiceCountingRoom) are running Labview 2009SP1 with
  license M63X37916.  The IBC (HDiceExp) has Labview
  2014SP1 with license Z71M58668 and the NMR rack (HDicePC2)
  has several versions, the most recent Labview2016 all with
  the same license as the IBC.

  1) Is this what the DSG group intends?

  2) How can we do upgrades?

  3) Can we add an additional machine (HDturtle)?

Yours,
Mike Lowry
