[Jervin Justin]

In order to use the licensing toolkit, you will need the following:

1. LabVIEW 2011 or later
   The Third Party Licensing & Activation Toolkit is available for LabVIEW 2011 and later. If you'd like to evaluate LabVIEW, visit ni.com downloads
   
   
2. Protection Plus (Optional)
   Protection Plus from SoftwareKey is the software used to create Product Definitions and License Files to be used with the licensing feature in LabVIEW.
   SoftwareKey provides an evaluation copy of Protection Plus on their website.  Note:  Protection Plus is only required when licensing an add-on in Advanced mode or using the licensing API.  For more information on which licensing method to use, please read Choosing the Correct Licensing Method in LabVIEW Third Party Licensing & Activation Toolkit
   
   
3. Third Party Licensing & Activation (TPLA) Toolkit
   This is a free LabVIEW Toolkit that allows you to license your LabVIEW code.
   Download the Third Party Licensing & Activation Toolkit on the LabVIEW Tools Network

Known Issues:

Trial DLLs installed by evaluation versions of Protection Plus. If you  install the trial version of Protection Plus, this installs the trial  versions of KeyLib32.dll and skca32.dll to the windows system32 folder  (SysWow64 on 64 bit machines). If this happens, replace these DLLs with  the ones installed by the Licensing & Activation Toolkit  (<LabVIEW>\resource\)
