Software License Programs
We offer services through our single-seat, volume, and enterprise license programs to help individuals, teams, and organizations get the most out of NI software products.
Service Program Options
Buy NI Software for You
The Single-Seat License Program provides individual access to NI software and is the most common option for new customers. This program includes access to an NI software service agreement, which is included in subscription licenses and for the first year of perpetual licenses. After the first year, software service is renewable on an annual basis. You can always purchase one or many single-seat licenses—but consider a volume license if purchasing more than five licenses.
Buy NI Software for Your Team
The Volume License Program is designed for teams that need five or more licenses. It reduces the total cost of ownership by providing streamlined asset management to your organization. Consider an Enterprise Agreement for expanded software access and access to additional training and services.
Standardize on NI Software for Your Organization
The Enterprise License Program helps large teams and enterprises standardize on NI software. Enterprise Agreements include access to additional training and advanced services to maximize software benefits by improving the proficiency and mastery of software and minimizing troubleshooting.

The price for renewals will be 25 percent of the list price for the perpetual licenses when service is renewed on time. Late fees apply after the on-time renewal date.

A software service agreement is included with all subscription licenses. To maintain the previously listed benefits, you must renew your subscription license annually. For single-seat and volume licenses, the price for renewals will be the list price for the subscription license. For single-seat, volume, and enterprise license programs, you will receive a quote prior to the renewal date.
