Mar 28 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 7 days.
It did take a long time to have the work finished on this and it will have a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration. We extensively optimized many critical parts of APP. All has been tested to guarantee correct optimizations. Drizzle and image resampling is much faster for instance, those modules have been completely rewritten. Much less memory usage. LNC 2.0 will be released which works much better and faster than LNC in it's current state. And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming weeks...
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Hello,
I downloaded a trial last year, I played with it for a day or two but never got to grips and ran out of time so I didn't purchase it.
I'd like the chance to evaluate it again, how can I do this? I'm guessing that if I download and install the latest version then It won't let me run it due to the expired trial that's on my PC already.
Thanks,
Ian
Hi Ian @starflyer,
I have verified our records of your old Trial license and I am happy to give you a new Trial 😉
Your old Trial license has been removed from our records and I have created a new one for you.
You should have received your new Trial License and order confirmation in your registered email inbox as well.
Let me know if you have received it 😉 and can download the latest version and activate it with the new license.
Kind regards,
Mabula
Many thanks Mabula, appreciated.
Cheers
Ian
Hi all,
I lost the email with my license info for login on it. My desktop's hard drive died so I had to replace the HD and rebuild. I can't get in to APP. How do I get the license info again. I emailed in to support but have heard nothing as of yet. Thanks!!!
Sorry, I'm on it!
Hi I bought a renter license about a month ago. I've been using it fine till now, but today when I started APP I was prompted to enter my license details. I cannot find the email, and I can't see any way of getting the license key from your site. Please advice.
ok I think this is because I recently added more RAM to my PC. I dont believe I was ever sent a license code for my renter license. please advise. I am not on site. I access my PC via RDP so cannot remove the additional RAM.
Dear APP Team,
I Orderd an license and was so stupid, that i deleted the Email with the license Code...
Could you hell me?
Sure can do, I'll mail you the details again.
Hello,
I haven't used the APP for a long time and now it's asking for the license number, unfortunately I deleted the email. Can you send me a new email so that the app can be used again?!
I'll have a look in our license server and mail the license if it's still valid. 😉
Today after downloading latest version I'm suddenly asked for a licence code. 😳 That has not happened since 2017, and I don't have a clue.
Can you help please?
Helge
@heno, did you increase the amount of RAM in your computer? Or perhaps upgraded from windows 10 to 11? Both would trigger a new license activation because APP would think this is another computer.
Is all okay now?
Mabula
Thanks for the answer. Good to know. I think this must have been a glitch of some sort. I logged on the day after and everything was as normal.
Helge
Likewise - just installed the latest Beta and when I go to start the programme....it asks for the licensee code. Like Heno above....no idea where I might find this. (..and to answer YOUR question to him....here there has been no change on the computer since I last opened APP)
I will send this request also via email
Brendan.
Hi Heno @heno and Brendan @kinch,
The new activation can also be caused by a fixed bug in our license system which had to do with computer identification using RAM (GB) amount instead of CPU threads. This new beta24 also has this further improved. So if beta24 all of a sudden asks for new activation, it means the license file on your computer had the old bug in there, and this is no longer acceptable as you can understand hopefully. Sorry that I forgot to mention that in the license notes.
Brendan, I will send you your license in just a minute 😉
Mabula

Okay, glad to hear all is okay now.
Mad respect for you managing this so personally. Just paid, and generated an account. I'll sit tight and check Junk/Spam for a license...for a few hours.
Good morning, @mabula-admin
I upgraded the memory in my computer on June 28th which triggered APP to ask for my license again. My request were posted in another thread but I have not received a reply. Could you please send me the activation code?
Best Regards,
Omar
I've had to reinstall my laptop and can't find my owners license code anywhere. Can you resend it to me? Thanks!
[EDIT] Never mind, I finally found a copy of my license code!
@mabula-admin Good to know you still respond to these requests should I ever really lose my license code.
Is it possible to save the license code in our account information so that we can just login to retrieve it?
Dear ChrisS @spacebug,
Of course, last couple of months were very hectic fo rme unfortunately. (I got married on aug 31 2025, and one week later a close friend of mine died after weeks of severe illness... it has been a roller coaster in many ways..)
All is back to normal now and I am working full-time on APP and catching up with all support and working on the next release 2.0.0-beta39 which can nearly be released.
Is it possible to save the license code in our account information so that we can just login to retrieve it?
Technically yes, but It will take a bit of work and we have security concerns here. Currently, the database with the APP licenses is not even reachable online for security reasons.
If we store license information on the website server or make communication from the website to retrieve it from the database, we expose ourselves and all APP users to a big risk. So it is not a trivial task to do this safely and responsible. If we make this happen, we need to also enforce 2-factor authentication on all user accounts I feel to protect the license information properly. Many users on the APP website have very simple usernames and simple passwords unfortunately. This is due to the free Trials, not everyone is sincere and the use simple login + password to get a free APP license. So I hope that you can understand these concerns.
It is however on my ToDo list, maybe after the 2.0.0 stable release, I can work on it to make it happen 😉

@mabula-admin Hey, I apologize for posting on a busy thread, but I was hoping you could help me. I purchased a license almost a week ago. I received the email from Stripe indicating the purchase went through, but as of now I haven't received the license itself. I promise I checked my spam and everything. 🙂
Could you assist me with getting my license? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
@mabula-admin I lost my license for APP, I wrote to support mail and posted to another thread but didn't get response.
Could you please send me my licence ?
Thanks a lot
