Re: Transfering Programing From Robot to Computer?
If you want to preserve everything to use after your LabVIEW license expires, to be safe I'd probably just ftp the whole directory tree on the cRIO back to a PC and store that.
The advantage there is that it could be captured and stored anytime after you discovered your license was no longer valid. Most teams would have forgotten by then exactly which program had been left last on the cRIO.

It would be valid with that particular cRIO image, but without a license you probably wouldn't be able to re-image the cRIO with the corresponding FPGA code if need arose.
