mathscript module required to run nodes?

[rmaletsky]

I am considering buying the mathscript module but have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to.  Once a program including mathscript nodes has been developed, can it be run with a license of LabVIEW that does not include the module?  I write software for a client that does not currently have this module and want to make sure that he will be able to use the program without purchasing the additional module.  Is this possible without creating .exes?

When you have a VI that includes the Mathscript RT module, any time you want to open and execute that VI, it must be on a computer with LabVIEW and the MathScript RT Module. Once that VI is built into a .exe, then it can run on a computer with the run-time engine only.

If you need the end user to be able to edit a VI that uses your RT code, you could always build the VI into a DLL, and the end user can access that DLL and feed in parameters and get out the results.
