Can I save VIs with the LabVIEW Student Edition?
Yes.
If I save my VIs in the LabVIEW Student Edition, are they compatible with the professional version of LabVIEW on campus?
Yes. All LabVIEW Student Edition VIs work with the professional version of the LabVIEW Full Development System and vice versa. Please note that VIs created and saved in a newer version do not open in older versions unless you choose the option Save for Previous. For example, if your university has LabVIEW 8.0 on campus and you have LabVIEW 7.1 Student Edition Version, you must save the VI on campus for a previous version before it will open with LabVIEW. Learn More about Saving VIs from Your Current LabVIEW Version for Use in a Previous Version.
Is there a restriction on how long a VI in the LabVIEW Student Edition executes?
No.
