This article answers the following questions:
- What are the benefits of registering a product?
- How do I add a serial number to my NI User Account to register a hardware or software product?
Registering your product ensures you have access to all your NI products and their included services and benefits, such as technical support and access to historical downloads. Providing end user information at the time of purchase automatically registers your product.
For software, if you don't provide this information during purchase, your product is activated and registered when you claim access through the email you or your purchasing agent receive after the sale.
Alternatively, you can manually register your products using a serial number.
- Find the serial number of your NI product.
- Hover your cursor over the User Account icon located at the top right of the page on ni.com. Log into your NI User Account if you are not already logged in or create an account.
- Select My Account.
- On the My Account dashboard, select Products & Services, and then click the View my products button.
- Under Register a Product, add your Serial Number and click Register.
This process registers the serial number to your NI User Account, but the entry may temporarily show as Not Registered. Within 24 hours, the system should refresh and show the serial number as registered.
