Does the license included with the kits this year activate LabVIEW for the Student Edition instead? That should not be! I will verify this tomorrow and see what we can do to get those licenses upgraded pronto if this is true!

As far as the Mac version, I had been under the impression that we would be shipping the Windows and the Mac versions together this year, same as always. However, I was not able to verify this for myself since we direct-shipped the LabVIEW kits from our production facility to FIRST, and I haven't had the opportunity to check out the LabVIEW package included with my team's KOP (we were supposed to start installing software on Monday, but we've been shut down because of the icy weather here in Texas all week so far). If you did not receive a Mac version, and you really want a Mac version, I'm sure I can make that happen for you - send me an e-mail at: "frc [at] ni.com" and give me your name, team number, and full mailing address and I'll see about making it happen for you!

I'm truly sorry about all of this, and thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Actually I am not sure now. On my team's labview box, there is a white sticker that says windows 2k/xp only. I did not actually look into the box but I did not find any indication that is was mac compatible.
