[dsg-hdice] Fwd: Labview licenses

[Peter Bonneau]

Hi Mike,

For clarification purposes, we're directly answering your three 
questions listed below:

1) Yes this is intentional for the two HDice computers (NMR and pump 
cart) DSG has most recently worked on.   All computers that use the Jlab 
LabVIEW group license will have the number (Z71M58668).   Regarding the 
older computers that run LabVIEW 2009, DSG has not updated these 
machines to the group license.

2) Anyone at Jlab can upgrade LabVIEW using the common group license 
number. See previous email for details.

3) Adding a machine to the Jlab LabVIEW group license uses the same 
procedure as an upgrade. See previous email for details.


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

    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
