License Status API is not providing the real time license status when called in continuous running modules

[KishorKumar2222]

Hi,

We are using the NI License Manager API in our Application for Licensing Purposes.

We observe that "License Status API" does not provide the real-time license status when used in continuous running modules.

Our license module runs continuously and when we tried to deactivate or activate our application from the license Manager, the License status was not updated properly and we got the same license status as that of during the start of the execution.

To get the current license status, either we need to restart the instance of the current module or run a single-time execution VI in another Application instance.

Is there any other option to Check the NILM license status continuously in the main instance?

We tried to confirm the same using the examples located at the below location and were able to get the same result.

Please find the steps below,

Steps:

1. Run the NILM API Example Basic.vi located at "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2021\examples\NI License Manager\NILM API Example Basic.vi"

2. Activate the License with the Key given in the Front panel.

3. Once Activated open NI License Manager to confirm the License Status.

4. Run the License_NI.vi (NI License Example.zip - LV21) and try running it once to confirm the same License Status.

5. Run the License_NI_Continous.vi (NI License Example.zip - LV21) and now deactivate the license from NI License Manager.

6. We can notice that the Status is not reflecting properly as shown below.
