Importing Computer Names into NI Volume License ManagerPrimary Software: Other NI Software>>NI Volume License ManagerPrimary Software Version: 1.0 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: I have a list of computer names that I want to add to NI Volume License Manager. I see that there is an option to import computers and it requires an XML format to successfully import. What is the required format of this file? Solution: For VLM 2.1 and Later: The XML schema files, as well as a sample XML file, can be found in the VLM installation directory[National Instruments]\Volume License Manager and National Instruments]\Volume License Manager\Import Utility). For VLM 2.0 and Previous: The XML file format, as documented in the product manual, is: <?xml version="1.0"?> <import xmlns="http://www.ni.com/license" version="1.0"> <computer> <name>sample</name> <computerId></computerId> <owner> <name></name> <phone></phone> <email></email> <department></department> <manager></manager> <costCenter></costCenter> <comment></comment> </owner> </computer> </import> Note that the import utility requires that there is no white space (spaces, blanks, or tabs) between opening and closing tags of an element. For example the following is an invalid XML statement for the import utility: <element>whitespace matters here <\element> A correct XML statement for the import utility would be: <element>Data Goes Here<\element> whitespace doesn’t matter here <element> More Data Here <\element> There is a utility called NI VLM Import Utility that will generate the XML file for the client computers automatically. By using this utility, you will avoid having to create XML files yourself.
