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.
Hello again,
APP only uses a fraction of my 64 GB RAM and there is no option to change it (APP 2 0 0 beta8 on a i7 W10 PC).
the CFG / config button has no "set memory usage" option.
I already read this thread :
APP is on c/programs
I deinstalled and reinstalled several times.

Hi @peter-s,
Since APP 2.0.0-beta1 you no longer need to set the amount of RAM that APP can use. Before 2.0, you could set it statically with the CFG button.
But with 2.0.0 APP will simply use the amount of RAM that is needed and this will be about 95% at most of your available RAM. If it uses much less... then APP does not need more for that task it is performing.
But... like you read in that other topic. If there are JAVA settings for the RAM amount in your windows environment variables, all JAVA application will be forced to use that (which is why this is very bad practice to start with...). So if APP only uses very little (like 1-4 GB of your 64GB) then you need to check the windows environment variables for sure and remove any setting in there for Java RAM like mentioned in that topic.
Did you check for the environment variables? How much RAM will APP use when you process some data?

Hi Mabula,
thank you - even if APP processes a bigger set of images incl. F / DF / B etc. the amount of RAM used stays approximately in the same range - but instead I kept getting warnings "HDD memory low", when (in that particular case) the HD had 50 GB of free space and went low during integrating.
This led me to investigate why APP doesnt take the best option available.
update: what surprises me is that on my W10 PC as well as on my W10 notebook JAVA is NOT installed. So there is no JAVA config panel. Should I install JAVA?
Peter
No, a Java install is not necessary as APP provides its own. 50 GB of space is not a lot actually, for bigger datasets that would be an issue, if that can then be dealt with in free memory...maybe, but I doubt if that would be a stable approach as you could run into memory issues then quickly as well. Best approach would be to get a separate SSD specifically for processing.
Hi Vinvent, Mabula
Best approach would be to get a separate SSD specifically for processing.
sure, already done; separate SDD with lots of GB.
Back to my main question: how can I make APP to take more of my RAM?
- there is no Java config option because Java is not installed
- can you give me an expression to add in the environment settings?
- anything else?
thanks in advance
Peter
You can't, because like Mabula mentioned, APP simply uses what it needs. Giving it more RAM won't do anything in that regard. However, sometimes people have a registry setting for Java that sets a limit. Likely not the case for you I think, you could have a look in the environment variables for anything Java related.

Dear Peter @peter-s,
I think we have a misunderstanding here between the memory of the computer, which is RAM memory, and the storage of the computer which is the HDD space. The HDD space is used for the stack data, RAM memory is used for actual data processing and calculations on the data. At the moment APP can not yet mix both RAM memory and HDD storage to complete a stack task. It is however on our ToDo list to make this possible.
