RE: OpenG Serial driversDoes that mean that each license fee allows for 1=
0 more distributions? That $40 figure is what I recall from
previous discussions.

The Wisconsin User Group Steering comity Just recently ask our District S=
ales 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 licensin=
g
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 t=
o
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, thi=
s
is a non-issue and NI-VISA will continue to be free.
Thank you,
Adam Sweet
