If you check the acknowledgement email you'd see clearly that they know who is using and on what computer they are using it on.
This is clearly a time limited highly specific version of LabView with the purpose of broadening the opportunity to learn "How To".

Thanks for clearing that up, I havent seen the email. Im glad that there is some security to it. Don't get me wrong, I am so glad they released this. I just was musing on the fact that at first glance it didn't really appear that secure. Though the fact that they can see who is using it does somewhat worry me.
And don't get me started on Autodesk Firstbase.
