Tethered Installations

Step 1. Before you Install:

  • Map a network drive to the CAE media server \\kamino.cae.wisc.edu\tethered. NOTE: You must install WiscVPN to connect to CAE media server from off of the campus network.
  • Authorize your computer to use tethered software. Use your CAE username and password to gain access to CAE tethered licensing. Each authorization has a duration of 12 hours.

Step 2. Start the Installer. Select Install.

  • The installer can either be run directly or downloaded from our campus server \\kamino.cae.wisc.edu\tethered

Step 3. Complete the User Information. Enter the Labview Serial Number: <Protected text, login to view>

Step 4. Specify Installation Directory

Step 5. Select the desired Drivers

Step 6. Review the License Agreements. Then Proceed (A portion of this agreement is provided on the bottom of this page)

Step 7. Driver Installation

Step 8. Product Activation. You should 'NOT' Use the automated product activation...instead use the NI License Manager...in preferences enter license-1.cae.wisc.edu:1790

[edit] Tethered Installation Steps - Linux/Unix

These instructions created using Ubuntu 7.10

Step 1. Before you Install:

  • Map a Network Drive to the CAE media server (kamino). Note that only LabView 8.2 is currently available for Linux.
  • Authorize your computer to use tethered software. Use your CAE username and password to gain access to CAE tethered licensing. Each authorization has a duration of 12 hours.
  • Make sure your system has the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) 4.0 or later and GLIBC 2.2.4 or later.

Step 2. Navigate to the DVD mount point (eg: /media/cdrom) or directory where installation information is located. If your system is RPM-based, run the installer script. The installer is text-based (no GUI). 

root@localhost# sh ./INSTALL

If your system is not RPM-based - good luck. The installer probably will complain it cannot find /bin/sh and library dependencies (since it did not install them). In this case, install the desired components individually: 

root@localhost# rpm -ivh labview82-rte-8.2-1.i386.rpm --nodeps
root@localhost# rpm -ivh labview82-core-8.2-1.i386.rpm --nodeps
root@localhost# rpm -ivh labview82-desktop-8.2-1.i386.rpm --nodeps
root@localhost# rpm -ivh labview82-appbuild-8.2-1.i386.rpm --nodeps
... etc ...

Step 3. Run LabView 

user@localhost$ /usr/local/lv82/labview

or create a link to this file instead 

root@localhost# ln -s /usr/local/lv82/labview /usr/local/bin

and then run LabView with 

user@localhost$ labview

[edit] Authorize and Run

Note: In order for tethered software to function properly your workstation must be continuously connected to the network and the CAE license servers.

[edit] National Instruments (Labview) License Agreement

The College of Engineering has an Academic Research Annual Software License Agreement with National Instruments (NI). This agreement permits an unlimited number of computers used solely for academic research, teaching, and educational purposes within the college to install and use NI software. Please note that this license is not for installation on any student-owned computers. A separate LabVIEW Student Edition is available in the University bookstore for such purposes.

NI permits the right to distribute Virtual Instruments (VI's) and related documentation created with the NI software; provided such distribution is for academic purposes. Except for the foregoing limited distribution right, in no case may you distribute software deliverables created with the NI software without the prior written approval of NI.

The NI software shall not be used for any commercial purpose. If you desire to license the NI software for commercial purposes or other purpose not permitted under the scope of this agreement, you must enter into a separate license agreement with National Instruments and pay all applicable NI license fees before engaging in such use.

Installation and use of LabVIEW requires a serial number, which is provided in the tethered installation instructions. Your installation of LabVIEW does not expire/quit, but instead depends on the CAE tethered license service. The College license maintenance is renewed annually. Updated media is received every May and November. You must be connected to the university network to run LabVIEW. The license held by CAE does not permit a stand along installation. If this is needed please see the local NI rep to purchase your own local copy of the software.
