To access Nigel, you need to link an existing serial number that has active software service benefits to your NI User Account.

  1. Log in to your NI User Account.
  2. Navigate to View My Products under the Products and Services section.
  3. Enter the serial number you have that activates LabVIEW Professional or TestStand Development in the text field and click Register

Locating Your Serial Number

You’ll need your serial number to activate Nigel. If you don’t have it, here’s where you can find it:

  • Email Confirmation—Check your email inbox for a purchase confirmation email from NI.
  • NI Volume License Manager (VLM)—If you're using a managed license, your administrator can provide the serial number.
  • NI Software—If your software is already activated, you can open NI License Manager to find the appropriate serial number that will have service benefits associated with it.
