I’ve been trying for the longest time and I could not get the NI Vision licensed. I assume that it is given to us as “licensable” so that we may use it. the serial code on the jacket does not work (the key that starts with L).
I think there were some other posts related to the Vision Assistant licensing, either here or on the usfirst.org forum.
If you go into the NI License Manager (under Start -> National Instruments) and expand the “Vision” tree, you’ll see several vision components listed. Right click on the ones that end with “FRC” in the name and activate them. Don’t do anything with the ones that don’t have “FRC” in the name. After that you should be able to run Vision Assistant, etc without problem.
We are using the 30 day “Evaluation” period, but that poses a problem for us. When trying to get Vision Assistant to create a LABView vi for us, it says we cant unless we pay for the software… is there any way around this? I think this program is needed to make color finding much easier!
