When we came in this afternoon, labVIEW, was not working properly, and our program would not build. Instead we get the following message.

"The plug-in for the selected item is not installed on your system or the plug-in has an expired licence. Please contact National Instruments."

also, next to where out roboRIO IP address is located, it says "features not available."

labVIEW was working perfectly Friday, but has stopped working over the weekend. We have no idea what is the matter, and what would cause such a sudden change, but would appreciate any insight that would available.

It's most likely that nobody activated your LabVIEW license when it was installed, and your 30 day evaluation period has expired. Find the LabVIEW Activation manager program and run it, Tell it to activate all the expired things, giving it your team's unique serial number (it's on the LabVIEW envelope that was in your Kit of Parts). If you have an Internet connection, you can activate everything easily. If not, you will be presented with other options.
