Dave,

Just tried that using "Get Installed Software.vi" that calls "Get Software
Details.vi" with added "isAvailable" output as you suggested. This output
returns "1" for both licensed and unlicensed software packages :(

Sergey,

I haven't been able to test this (when I query my system, I can't find any
components listed that I know are installed but unlicensed), but I noticed
this when browsing the library code:

In the nisyscfg project library, the Get Software Details.vi calls the
shared library function "GetSoftwareItemProperties"... and there's a
function output (not brought out to the caller) labeled "isAvailable"
(second-to-last param). Wonder if that returns a value you might use to
determine if a component is licensed/activated?

In these sorts of cases I usually end up making a copy of the call chain so
I don't disturb anything released in <vi.lib>.

Dave

That's a surprise for me :-\

I'm not familiar with the vision modules and libraries, but maybe like
vi.lib, there's an llb or folder with VIs that aren't on the palette.
