Download LabVIEW for 2014
 

I noticed a new link on http://www.ni.com/frc that states Download FRC 2014 Software. It's a 5gb download of LabVIEW 2013.

It looks like there's now an option for teams that lose DVDs.

Thanks Joe! :)

Finally! That was an issue with our team one year. It really sucked losing that DVD. Glad there's an option around it.

As a policy I make ISO images of all DVD's the day of Kickoff.
When we take inventory of our KOP I start making images.

That way we never need to "find it" we can make as many as necessary.
It's also nice to have it, when you don't have access to the internet.

Downloading it now. 3 hrs on the connection I have currently have.

Two questions:
1) Where and when can we get the serial number needed? (Assuming one will be needed.)
2) Do we need to uninstall last year's version before installing this ne one, or can we just install it on top of the previous version?

I assume the serial number will be distributed with the Kit Of Parts.

Since last year's LabVIEW for FRC will be expiring in a few weeks, I don't see any reason to keep it around. I think it'll just be confusing to have both versions installed.

Two notes of interest from the NI download page:

Re: Download LabVIEW for 2014
 

Has anyone managed to download the software? I started the special downloader a couple of days ago and it told me it was going to take many, many hours to get the 4.9 GB file. So I was patient, letting the laptop stay on overnight. When I checked in the morning, it then said it was going to take even more hours to get the 8.9 GB. I just resumed the download after a long day of travel, and now it says it's going to take yet more hours to get the 12.9 GB.

I don't know what to expect now.

I downloaded the zip file with no problem. Did not use the special loader

Re: Download LabVIEW for 2014
 

I also downloaded the ZIP in about 1 and a half hours.

Re: Download LabVIEW for 2014
 

I was able to download it in about 2 hours, using the special downloader.

Re: Download LabVIEW for 2014
 

I down loaded the file in about 20 min. 5,142,187 KB.

But could not open the ZIP file. "The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted"

I tried it twice using both methods

Re: Download LabVIEW for 2014
 

That's the same size as mine. I was able to unzip and install.

Install? Sweet!
Did you need a serial #? If so, where did you find it and what was it?
If not, are you just using the trial mode?
