The Academic Volume License contains more than just software licensing. Staff and students are entitled to a wide range of services that help ensure that they are successful with the NI platform.
NI Software can be managed by local activation with a serial number or through a volume license server with either NI Volume License Manager (VLM) or through FLEX.
Web-based installers are made available as soon as the products release to provide immediate access. For information about downloading software for macOS or Linux, refer to Access Academic Volume License Software for Mac and Linux Users. For a list of software included in the Academic Volume License, refer to Software Included in NI Academic Volume License.
