License checkout failure when getting to https servers using http client GET vi

[hlcfreelook]

It seems that the "GET" vi from "HTTP Client VIs" Palette of "Protocols" don't work out for https urls on my notebook (windows 7 x64 service pack 1, LabVIEW 2010 x64 service pack 1). The strange point is that the same program works perfectly well on my desktop(windows 7 x32 service pack 1, LabVIEW 2010 x32 ). Can't dig out the reason over a-whole-day's investigation.

That does seem strange.  Two possibilities occur to me.  One is whether there are Firewall or other "access rules" on your Win 7-64 PC that are not present on the "working" machine.  Can you access the site using Windows Explorer (or other method) on both machines?  The other possibility is a glitch in LabVIEW 64-bit.  I'd venture to guess that the vast majority of current LabVIEW users are using a 64-bit OS (Windows 7, 8, 10 mostly), and also most are using 32-bit LabVIEW (which appears to be more robust).

Finally, I have to update the labview version to 2014 to get it done.
