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.

Sweet (E-mail) Envoy=E9 : 13 janvier, 2005 16:47 Objet : RE: OpenG Serial drivers 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.
