Computer Versions

[Adam Makin]

MicrosoftWindows is a computer operating system developed by Microsoft. It was first launched in 1985 as a graphical operating system built on MS-DOS. The initial version was followed by several subsequent releases, and by the early 1990s, the Windows line had split into two separate lines of releases: Windows 9x for consumers and Windows NT for businesses and enterprises. In the following years, several further variants of Windows would be released: Windows CE in 1996 for embedded systems; Pocket PC in 2000 (renamed to Windows Mobile in 2003 and Windows Phone in 2010) for personal digital assistants and, later, smartphones; Windows Holographic in 2016 for AR/VR headsets; and several other editions.

Windows MultiPoint Server was an operating system based on Windows Server. It was succeeded by the MultiPoint Services role in Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server version 1709. It was no longer being developed in Windows Server version 1803 and later versions.

In 2012 and 2013, Microsoft released versions of Windows specially designed to run on ARM-based tablets; these versions of Windows, named "Windows RT" and "Windows RT 8.1," were based on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, respectively. Upon the release of Windows 10 in 2015, the ARM-specific version for large tablets was discontinued; large tablets (such as the Surface Pro 4) were only released with x86 processors and could run the full version of Windows 10. Windows 10 Mobile had the ability to be installed on smaller tablets (up to nine inches);[26] however, very few such tablets were released, and Windows 10 Mobile primarily ended up only running on smartphones until its discontinuation. In 2017, the full version of Windows 10 gained the ability to run on ARM, thus rendering a specific version of Windows for ARM-based tablets unnecessary.

I have Labview 2013 installed on my computer. The lic are own by a customer. I have lot of llb:s and prototypes made by this LV version. Now, we going to buy our own Labview 2020 but I still need to have LV 2013 unchanged. Does anyone know how this going to be? Do I need to install 2020 in a normal way and then convert the llb:s/prototypes from 2013 to 2020 when I need them? So, if I make an improvement in one vi I need to manually update the twin?

That was important information. Thanx! I'm using Oracles Virtualbox for Linux. Perhaps I can use that solution OR move my customers LV 2013 to another computer. I got a new laptop last week. That computer are clean and I can use that one when I working with LV 2013.

You can have both versions of LabVIEW on your PC. The problem comes with the drivers. So if you install the DAQmx drivers that come with and work for 2020, it will replace the DAQmx that is on there now that works with LV 2013. That is where that 4 year window Gerd talks about becomes an issue because the drivers in 2020 won't support the 7 year old 2013.

So LabVIEW, no problem, Drivers, problem. And that will violate your desire to have a fully functioning version of LV13. Now if those original projects don't use DAQmx, or other drivers, then you won't have a problem opening them and running them in your LV13 version.

I'm pretty sure Bob_Schor will weigh in on this eventually, and he will caution you against installing LV 2020 alongside any other LV installs. It used to be that the only restriction was the driver gap, but I'm not so sure anymore.

Aa. Ok. Perhaps I take a chance.

I have DAQ+LV 2013 in my desktop computer but I don't use the NI-hardware in the customers application (and never will) EXCEPT RJ45-port. I'm sending and receiving IP-data through the Ethernet port and therefor using LV2013 'TCP Open conn' and 'TCP Read'.

I have an unrecommended range of LV installed (2010-2016) and it works well, with the caveat that DAQmx only supports 4 versions. So, since I need HW support on the 2011 version I run DAQmx 2014 and the newest LVs are only used for 'normal' programming.

Of course. Ok. I will install LV 2020 in parallel with LV 2013. The customer's application uses the ethernet port and I can simulate it the few times I need to change something. So I let LV 2020 own the hardware and LV 2013 is used without hardware.

I seem to have the Creative Cloud and all its applications from CS6 and 2015 up to now on my computer. How do I get ONLY the current applications without ruining the programs. I am thinking abount uninstalling every single one then reinstalling the current one, but it seems like that is going to take me forever. Any thoughts or tips? Thank you very much in advance!

On every main update you have to options when you install the update. Delete or keep the older version. Keeping the old version makes sense if you have plugin which you are not sure that runs with the new version.

Valerie, Do not delete CS6. Adobe has decided to give everyone who bought the older versions a big ol F.U. and has stopped support meaning your digital copies are null and void if something ever happens to your computer or your installation discs. Cs6 creative suite is all of the products without re quiring you to pay the outrageous monthly fees to keep using the software you already paid for. My Suggestion is to download all of the software you have and save it onto external discs or a hard drive. Adobe wont help you and only wants the money the new subscription service requires. The Creative cloud will implement a "kill all" kind of user script to disable the old standalone software. I am just so angry with adobe... Its theft in my opinion not allowing us to use what we paid for. Never delete those programs... My computer died and because my house burned down in 2015 and i lost my install discs and laptop and backups... IM S>O>L> my codes are useless if i cant install the programs and they do not provide them.

That isn't correct. The only what has happened is that Adobe has removed the installations files for older version from their public websites. If you have buyed older versions (ex. CS6) from Adobe you'll find the files under your Adobe account.

BTW: If you have a subscription of the CC version you don't need CS6 anymore. In addition, the older versions are no longer compatible with the newer operating systems and can sometimes no longer be installed, e.g. with the latest MacOS versions

Hi, I am working for a kitchen images for my client. Client is asking to redisgn product images and add a trasparent look to each product. Which is the best version to edit images in transparent way? Link is given below.

Thanks in Advance

Probably the most often asked question on this forum. As suggested by Svengali, you really can have numerous versions of Cubase on one computer, and all are previous versions will remain licensed, even though your e-licenser will only show that a license for Cubase 7.x The program files for each version are installed in individual folders (e.g. Cubase 4, Cubase 7 etc.) , but they will share VSTi folders whether you are on a Mac or PC.

Actually if you have 2 different versions of Cubase open they can both play simultaneously. I just tested with V7.5 & V8.0.20 playing at the same time. One more version and I think I can go full John Cage

I am aware that both of these ZIP files are portable,

yet I ask this question because I know that on the first run of the Arduino IDE, it captures the relevant File Extensions (e.g. .ino) and associates them with its executable..

Note that the "Windows ZIP file for non admin install" is not portable by default. If you want to to be portable, you need to follow these instructions:

Those don't apply to the ancient Arduino IDE 1.0.3. It is not possible to run that version of the Arduino IDE in portable mode. You can still happily run the "Windows ZIP file for non admin install" versions of both 1.0.3 and 1.8.9 on the same machine though, even if neither is in portable mode.

So Arduino IDE, which came in a ZIP file and not an installer, did take over the relevant File Extensions..

(maybe the behavior is different in new versions?

but that's how it is in v1.0.3 at least, for sure)

pert:

I haven't used Arduino IDE 1.0.3 in years so I don't know how that worked with file associations. I have .ino files associated with a text editor on my computer. I install a new "Windows ZIP file for non admin install" version of the Arduino IDE maybe once a week on my computer and it has never once taken over the association. The oldest IDE version I have installed on my computer is 1.0.5. It does have that "Automatically associate .ino files with Arduino" option in preferences. The second oldest version I have installed is 1.6.0. It has the option in Preferences, but it's disabled so you can't turn it on. In the modern IDE versions, that option was removed from Preferences and you can only associate .ino files by running the installer (which the "Windows ZIP file for non admin install" version doesn't have).
