Using Standard Labview with cRIO

Yes, I understand that it would not be legal for competition, although it has been mentioned that future competitions might permit custom FPGA code.

Installing software over a "managed" machine already containing licensed labview software may not always be administratively possible. Does the license agreement permit the hardware FRC cRIO platform to be used with standard labview, for example to demonstrative custom FPGA coding for possible uses in future years or would this kind of use be prohibited by the license.

The question comes up because it is easier to justify purchasing additional cRIO's if they can be used for team purposes throughout the entire year, including off-season development/demonstration/skill building.
