LabVIEW activation fails - Can not conect to ni.com

[ChristopherBuck]

Hi, our team has been using LabVIEW just fine since 2009, but now we can no longer use LabVIEW because it fails to activate. We installed the latest version for this year, but LabVIEW no longer opens, and complains that it needs to be activated. We attempt the online activation, but it returns an error stating that the activator cannot connect to ni.com to activate. We have tried on multiple networks, wifi and wireless, and made sure that we can ping ni.com, but it still returns the same error. Activation by telephone does not work either, the activation code they provide after going through their process throws another error as well.

This seems to be a really peculiar problem, as I seemed to recall that in years past, there was at least a 30 day trial period until we were forced to activate, but it has not been anywhere near 30 days since kickoff. Regardless, any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as we can't develop any more code until this is resolved.

Thanks in advance.
