Download NI mate

Download, install and run NI mate (please read the documentation if you have previously used a your sensor device, for example the Microsoft Kinect, with your PC) and attach your device via USB. Before you can start using NI mate, you will need to either purchase a commercial license or register your Kinect for a free trial license. You can do this best from within the program upon first launch by clicking either "Get free trial licence", "Purchase a single licence" or "Purchase a multi-licence". A multi-licence will offer you the added benefit of a single licence file that will be able to function with all of your Kinects - handy if you have many lying around.

After purchase or registration just apply the license you receive in to the e-mail address you indicated and get going! The same license file works for both Windows and OS X and you are allowed to put it in to as many installations of NI mate as you wish. This enables you to move the your sensor device between multiple computers at will.

Note: if you participated in the beta phase the old beta license will function as a valid trial key, so you don't need to register your sensor device again.

See the documentation and FAQ for more information about using the software.
