After the announcement of the release of the "Community Edition" of LabVIEW versions was published in the comments and on the forums, reports on the unsuccessful activation of these products were noticed. The activation system is somewhat remotely similar to the Visual Studio Community, but there are subtleties that I would like to talk about.
In short, the main problem is that if you create an account after downloading and installing (and there is an option right in the installer), the activation fails because there is no license at this moment.
Below you will find a complete step-by-step description of the installation and activation process of LabVIEW Community Edition - about fifty screenshots.
So, we need an email address. The first step is registering at ni.com/myni. This process in our century of social networks does not require a detailed description - a valid email is required, you need to fill out a simple form, a confirmation email with a link will be sent, after which an account will be created.
Now let's go to your personal account in the list of products - initially it will be empty:
Now you need to, without leaving your account, go to the product download pages and click the DOWNLOAD button, like this for LabVIEW 2020 Community Edition :
That's right at the moment you click on the "DOWNLOAD" button and you will be issued a license.

To summarize - if you are unable to activate Community Edition, then first of all, make sure that you have the appropriate license in your personal account. If it is not there, then just repeat the download (without logging in) and the license must be issued, after that the activation process must be repeated using the license manager.
Stay in touch, we will start programming at NXG soon.
