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,
Â
Just purchased a license and installed APP.Â
Â
Crashes on startup, cannot locate the logs to troubleshoot.Â
Â
Please advise.
Â
Cheers

Hi Chris,
What operating system are you on? Can you open a terminal, go to the directory that contains the APP executable and start it from the command line? That should print out error messages that could indicate the cause of the problem.

Hi Wouter,
Â
Â
This is the error from the windows 10 application event log (I have used AppCrashView to render the information from the .wer file)
Â
It appears to be an access violation which implies that application does not have permissions to write to a specific directory.
I have tried starting the app with administrator privileges and that has not helped.
Â
EDIT : I have not yet received my license code to activate the application - is that preventing it from starting up ?
I would normally expect the application to start and then the license code to be entered to activate the application.
Â
Cheers
Chris
Maybe you can put APP in a directory that you know for sure works? And the activation code should be send immediately after payment, did you check your junk mail?
I have tried installing it on the root of both of my drives but experience the same issue.
Yes i checked my junk mail. I received an order complete mail/invoice but no licence code.
Â
And you are sure the root is a place you can write to? I would try putting it in a standard applications folder... or was that already what you started with?
Yeah i started with the default and then tried a variety of other locations. Simply cant get it to start on my main image processing rig. Also tried several older versions of the software to rule that out.
Â
UPDATE : I have just installed it on my imaging laptop system and it starts up ok.
I have requested a license code via the support e-mail address so hopefully once that arrives i will be up and running, at least on the laptop.
Ok, another possibility might be.. a virus scanner. Do you use one and can you check if it might be blocking APP somehow. Maybe Windows Defender for instance?
I have Windows Defender disabled.
Problem solved, i created a new local windows account and it runs fine under that.Â
Generated a mosaic this evening - very happy with the result.
Interesting, I will keep that in mind as a possible solution. Have fun! 🙂
