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.
Hi Mabula,
is it possible for you to have a price excluding VAT for those of us outside the EU? makes a significant difference in price for those of us on a pension 🙂

Hi Gary,
Yes, certainly.
Only EU residents will need to pay VAT, the shop should detect from which country you are buying and should apply the VAT rate applicable to the country of the buyer. If you are ordering from outside the EU, then the VAT rate should be zero.
Doesn't this work correctly in your case?
Where are you located currently?
Cheers,
Mabula
Hi Mabula,
I'm in Australia. I'll checkout the cart to see if it is working....Just tried checking out - does not take the VAT off. Still charges full 125 Euros.
cheers

Hi Gary,
The pricing is correct then for your location.
The price excluding VAT is 125 euros, with VAT 20% it would be 150 Euros. So the shop is showing this correctly.
People in the Netherlands for instance will see:
Euros 125 incl. VAT euros 151,25
I realise now that this might be a bit unclear from the website. I'll adjust this.
Cheers,
Mabula
Hi I am trying to upgrade my license but I keep getting an error saying I can't be provided with a VAT code because I am in the US. How can I resolve this? My billing address is set to US
- You cannot use a VAT number since your country (US) is outside of the EU.
I having the same problem, I'm in country CH. Wanted to buy a license, but not possible to checkout
Hi Matthew @mbm8e and Cyrill @cdurrer,
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience. This morning, we updated a software plugin responsible for VAT calculations and it had a bug as it turned out...
I have restored the previous version of the plugin and now all should work normally again at checkout, so please try and let my know if all is okay now 😉
Kind regards,
Mabula
Hi Mabula
It worked for me, thx.
