This installation documentation is a direct companion to MIT's License of LabVIEW for Windows.
In the future, if you find you are missing certain device drivers, they can be downloaded from our website. If you have clicked 'Decline Support' and LabVIEW successfully installs but does not open properly, check to see if your version of LabVIEW and your operating system are compatible. In this video, I show how to install LabVIEW and Device Drivers. Hopefully this will make the process straightforward for those interested in learning LabVIEW, and planning to take the course on. LabVIEW is able to control devices and also receive responses from them. To achieve this, an interface is required enabling LabVIEW to connect to the device or instrument. These interfaces are called LabVIEW drivers and there is an extensive library of these drivers that are available within the LabVIEW ecosystem. Instrument drivers: the basics. NI LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS software turns any LEGO MINDSTORMS Education set into a full-featured science and engineering learning station. The software, designed specifically for use with the LEGO Education robotics platform, provides a sophisticated teaching tool that helps students program the.

1 NI software installs VC2015 Runtime and .NET 4.6.1. Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 require Microsoft updates to support these items. Refer to Microsoft KB2919442 and KB2919355 for more information about how to install these updates. 2 NI software is signed with a SHA-256 certificate. Windows 7 SP1, Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 require Microsoft updates to support SHA-256. Refer to Microsoft KB3033929 for more information about how to install this security update. Note You cannot access LabVIEW using a Guest account on Windows. |
Basically, if you have a Windows Computer that was purchased in the last 5 – 8 years, then you should be able to run this software. However, it’s stillhighly recommended that you verify that your hardware meets the requirements.
Downloading the Software
You can download the installer from here. You’ll see two options listed, one for the NI Download Manager and another for the Standard Download. It is recommended that you use the NI Download Manager option. Click on the “2016LV-64WinEng_downloader.exe” link under the “NI Download Manager” section to begin the download.
Once the download is done, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the file to and right-click on it and choose “Run as Administrator”
A window will come up asking you where to save a file. Leave the settings default and choose “Save”
Now the installer will start to download. How long the download takes depends on your internet connection and NI’s servers at the time of download.
Once the downloader is done, click the “Open” button:
A window will come up telling you a self-extracting archive wants to create an image on your machine. Click “OK”.
On the window that comes up, click “Unzip”
This may take a while depending on your computer’s hardware.
Once it’s done extracting, it will tell you the files have extracted. Click “OK”.

- Click “Next” on the main window
- Fill out your name and organization. This information is mostly irrelevant. Hit Next when you are done
- Next, you will be asked for your serial #. You should have received your serial # from Studica. The serial # should look something like this: A12B34567. It’s a 9-digit series of letters and numbers. If you have a physical copy of LabVIEW, the serial # should be located on the DVD sleeve that the DVD came in.If you purchased a digital download version from Studica and you don’t know what your serial # is, follow these steps:
- Go to studica.com
- Click the “Log In” button at the top-right of the page
- Sign in with your account that you made with Studica and then click “Log In”
- Once you’re logged in, click the “My Downloads” option near the top of the page:

- Once you have your serial #, copy and paste it into the “LabVIEW 2016 (Base/Full/Professional)” field.
- Once you have your serial #, copy and paste it into the “LabVIEW 2016 (Base/Full/Professional)” field.
- On the next window, you can leave the fields default and click “Next”.
