RE: OpenG Serial drivers

[Mark B. <mb...@Ch...>]

The Wisconsin User Group Steering comity Just recently ask our District
Sales Manager this NI Visa question.
He did some research and replied with this response.

Good afternoon all,

The $395 NI-VISA license is only applicable if you are building your own
hardware and would like to use the NI-VISA layer.

Today, our licensing policy DOES NOT require a customer to pay a licensing
fee for NI-VISA if the deployment target contains NI hardware or software
written using NI development software. In the scenario where you have a
LabVIEW VI or EXE talking on a built-in serial port, National Instruments
allows the first 10 distributions for free and after that we require a
licensing fee.  We are about to change our licensing policy to allow up to
100 distributions per application for free and after that require a
license.

So the short story is that if you are an end-user or alliance member, this
is a non-issue and NI-VISA will continue to be free.

Thank you,

Adam Sweet

Hi Jim

Thanks for your offer, I have LV 6.1 and I'd like to try to get some 
royalty free Serial drivers written! How do I start?

Yours Sincerely
