I'm sure they'll be touting <a href="http://labviewmakerhub.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">labviewmakerhub.com</a>, too.<br>
<br>
Aside from the "noncommercial, nonacademic use" clause, the main thing<br>
that could be considered a restriction is that it does not come with<br>
the "Application Builder" (which provides the ability to generate a<br>
standalone executable), which means you need to be running the LabVIEW<br>
environment to run your program. But doing so is pretty much normal in<br>
the LabVIEW ecosystem anyway -- the app builder even comes to<br>
commercial users at a premium. That's not taking into account the<br>
Arduino interface they'll be talking about tomorrow.<br>
