> Here in the UK, the Full version of LabVIEW costs 1685 UK pounds. In the
> US, it costs $1995, = c. 1100 UKP at the prevailing exchange rate. Even
> supposing we have to add VAT at the prevailing UK rate, this only takes
> the price up to c. 1300 UKP.

> So, is there any reason at all why I can't buy LabVIEW in the US and use
> it in the UK? I'm sure the marketeers at NI have some reasons they trot

> the UK (or anywhere else in the world with a favourable exchange rate)
> done this? Any problems?
