Getting Started with NI VLM - Emailing NI and Obtaining a License File

Primary Software: Other NI Software>>NI Volume License Manager
Primary Software Version: 2.1.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I have successfully installed NI Volume License Manager (VLM) on the computer in which I intend to run the license server. Now how do I get started using NI VLM by obtaining a volume license file?

Solution:
You must acquire a volume license file before you can administer software licenses from a volume license server.

Find your computer ID and server name by selecting the Options»Display Computer Information menu item.
Send your computer ID and license server name, as well as any other information required by your agreement, to your local National Instruments agreements representative at agreements@ni.com to obtain your volume license file.

Note: You can manage the volume license file only from the computer from which the computer ID was generated. Using your computer ID as a key ensures that your volume license file cannot be copied and used by anyone else.

For more information, please see the NI Volume License Manager Help, also available here.
