VeriStand development licenses are available as VeriStand Full, VeriStand PC, or as part of the LabVIEW+ Suite for HIL, so you can select the right capabilities for your team’s test and validation workflow. VeriStand Full provides both development and deployment capabilities from a single license. VeriStand PC is for teams that build and configure test systems without deploying to real-time targets. VeriStand Operator is for deployment-only use cases where engineers run pre-configured HIL systems. VeriStand Full is also available as part of the LabVIEW+ Suite for HIL.

A perpetual license means that the version of the software you purchase will never stop working. NI software licenses provide access to an NI software service program. These benefits are included in the first year of perpetual licenses. After the first year, software service is renewable on an annual basis. Even if you do not subscribe to software service, your software will continue to operate with the version you currently have installed.
A subscription license gives you access to software on an annual basis. Once the term of the subscription license is up, you must renew your subscription to keep using the software. When you renew your subscription, you will also maintain access to your NI software service agreement benefits.
Learn about the benefits of software services or read this article to help you decide which license option will best meet your needs.
There are no functional or feature-level differences when purchasing NI software through a subscription or perpetual license. Both licenses include the same features.
Purchasing a single-seat license to VeriStand provides access to an NI software service agreement which includes benefits like new and previous version downloads, technical support, and HIL Fundamentals using VeriStand on-demand. These benefits are included in subscription licenses and for the first year of perpetual licenses. After the first year, software service is renewable on an annual basis.

Yes. Many teams use a combination of VeriStand Full or PC licenses for test system development and Operator licenses for deployment across multiple HIL rigs. Each license is per seat. Contact us if you need help planning license allocation for your team or to ask about volume pricing for five or more seats.
It depends on what each seat needs to do. VeriStand Full is for engineers who need to both build test configurations and deploy to real-time targets from the same machine. VeriStand PC is for teams that author test configurations on a Windows desktop and deploy using separate Operator licenses on the real-time systems. VeriStand Operator is for test engineers who run pre-configured systems without modifying the system definition. For teams that need VeriStand plus LabVIEW, TestStand, and DIAdem, the LabVIEW+ Suite for HIL bundles everything together.
Yes. VeriStand offers a free trial with full development capabilities. You can create system definitions, integrate simulation models, and deploy to real-time targets—
everything you’d do with a licensed installation. Try VeriStand for free.
Recommended for embedded software teams that need to configure, develop, and deploy real-time test applications from a single license.
Recommended for embedded software engineers and system architects developing HIL and SIL validation workflows. Ideal for teams building full test and validation systems, where modular test development, automation, and real-time execution frameworks accelerate iteration cycles and reduce time to market.
