2013 FRC Labview Registration issue

[AquaMorph]

Same here. I have not found a solution yet probably just call NI on Monday.

I don't have an envelope with me, so I can't be sure where it is located, but the registration key should start with S14X. Ignore the number on the envelope and look for a nine character code that starts with S14X.

S14X sounds familiar from last year, but our S/N this year starts with M77X

The serial key is in little itty bitty print on the white and yellow card that came in the envelope, not the big blue card.

The Serial Number is S14X86763.

Thank you, we found the card, and it works! I just sent a base project to our SVN Repo.

Our serial begins with M77X as well. Our folder contained no little card with any other registration information...Someone goofed up a bit!

[bhsrobotics1671]

Try using the serial : S14X86763 . The M77X... doens't seem to work, but the S14X... does.

Why is NI so confusing!?

Thank you for the correct S/N, saved me from an hour or two of headaches!

[Greg McKaskle]

I apologize for the confusion. I'm personally not a big fan of SW licensing, and this is one of the reasons why. The standard process for manufacturing is to put a unique serial number on each package, but FRC is quite unique. By the time we received the folders, it was too late to do anything but roll with it. We are definitely redoing the packaging next year. We'll try to make the activation less confusing.

Actually, I think this was a good object lesson in RTFM. So much so I thought it was planned.

Now how would that work out with NI knowing Greg sits on Delphi all night answering questions?

[Greg McKaskle]

Not all night.

I located the S14 S/N and it worked for all components EXCEPT the Application Builder. Has anyone else successfully activated the Application Builder with the S14 serial number?

[Kevin Fort]

LabVIEW shouldn't be activating as individual components but as one big bundle called FIRST Robotics Competition. The best way to see the status of your licenses and activate them is to open up the NI License Manager Program. If you open this do you see individual components listed under LabVIEW 2012 or one?
