Visual Studio extensions fail to install when there are more than one edition of Visual Studio present on the machine

Workaround:

Manually install the Visual Studio extensions from Semi Device Control Public directory:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Semi Device Control\VS2019

InstrumentStudio appears to hang when launching a project containing a Semiconductor Device Control Add-On panel

When opening an InstrumentStudio project that contains a Semiconductor Device Control Add-On panel or when creating a new Semiconductor Device Control Add-On panel, InstrumentStudio appears to hang until the panel loads. Shortly after the panel loads, an activation window appears.

Workaround:

This hang is due to background licensing checks and is proportional to the number of licensing on the system. To reduce the time it takes to check licenses, use NI License Manager to remove unused licenses.
