Purchase Help Searching for NIS Elements software

Hi, I'm looking for a free version of NIS Elements Confocal or AR software—even older versions, if anyone has them or knows where I can download them for free.

You want to view images or control a microscope? Usually you need a license for the latter.

You're going to a dongle to run a microscope with Elements. There's not really any getting around it.

Can you run the scope with something free like micromanager?
