May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !

Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.

Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options

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.

I wanted to know if APP would be able to take advantage of compute cards such as the nVidia Tesla line, and if those would be better than a regular gaming type graphics card for use with APP.

The main reason I ask is the graphics cards in my rig are getting a bit on the older side, being a pair of AMD R9 390 video cards that I bought back in the summer of 2015.

We're not there yet, so I can't give details on different types of cards being an advantage or not to have. When APP has Vulkan support (which is still down the road) it will be able to use GPU's to calculate and that should be quite a bit faster. In the current landscape of graphics cards, I wouldn't spend top dollars on one just yet.
