Likewise, I ran a 2011 cRio with a 2010 classmate, on 2010 LabVIEW (using the 2011 product key) and the 2011 LabVIEW software update, and everything worked fine.

The LabVIEW update has some errors, because the palette points to the old (empty) files (in vi.lib\Robotics Library) instead of vi.lib\Rock Robotics. The new library has an annoying "Safey Update" feature which will spawn a new thread for each device, and kill the output if you don't update it fast enough (I guess its a fix to the Watchdog, but I honestly liked the Watchdog more). I have found no functional difference in any features (yet).

I did, however, find what might be an FPGA image bug here. It could be me doing something wrong, or it could be a bug in the library, too.
