  • How to completely uninstall a computer labview and avoid to occupy the license

    Hello

    Usually a labview can be installed on three computers. Now I already installed all and will install in another computer. So I need to uninstall one of the three and want to know how can I completely uninstall the labview. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Use License Manager TO deactivate the license.  Will release the database entry of NO, so that you are OK to activate the license even on a new machine (can't really uninstall LabVIEW - the absence of activated license will prevent the use).  As I remember reading the license agreement, you can do up to 4 times per year.

    If you do not have access to the old machine (that is, because it fell from the roof or something like that) call OR service and they can manually remove activation.

  • How can I restore my computer to factory settings?

    Original title: looking for professional help, big questions.

    Hello, I have a Dell Latitude d630 laptop, and it has some major problems, I can not understand.

    I have a hidden player called drive X, it is also the boot drive, the only way I can access this hard drive is by selecting the

    also repair option when installing my software, this disk is write protected. Don't know, I installed a new hard drive and drive X

    rest, I installed new memory chips and still have the X drive, I don't know where else to look, where this information

    can be stored.

    I try Dariks boot and nuke, kill the drive, tried to format it, tried to remove all across BACK, once I turn the system

    stop and restart, all the information is back.

    also the files and folders have a tendacy auto recover, when deleting files and folders through BACK I get access denied much, have

    tried using Calc to support, but it don't work, suggestions for anyone who would be appreciated, I'm at the point where I am

    Considering everything you wrote, your best option is to take the laptop to a reputable local computer professional, not a BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad type of place.

  • How can I restore my computer encrypted bitlocker to an external hard drive for bitlocker encrypted after main disk failure?

    I backup that my bitlocker encrypted computer running vista ultimate on an attached USB harddrive external also encrypted by bitlocker.  I have the password both on a USB stick and written down.

    You can restore to normal full image (well close to normal) just using the USB Flash drive and a hard disk formatted, white (with a system partition at least as large as the partition which it replaced)- and, of course, the backup drive.  I see no reason why a bitlocker recovery will be different - after all, it's just not added encryption process (although the exact procedure may vary because you may need to supply a password to authenticate the restore function and decrypt the files as they are restored - that's why it doesn't happen on the CD).  Of course, this means that you must have done a full image backup using bitlocker (not a full backup or a file backup).

    Good luck and I hope this helps. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.
