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.
I click to launch the program, and nothing happens. I check processes list and I see it running, but I never get a response from the app.
Hi @cflory,
Welcome to the APP forum 😉
I have checked our logs and I can see that you were able to activate your Trial license.
What happens if you kill the application and restart it, does the same happen? So the application starts but nothing is shown on your screen?
Have you you checked if any security software on your computer is doing something that might prevent APP from starting normally?
Kind regards,
Mabula
If I kill the process and restart, it does the same thing. That's correct, the process starts, but nothing shows on the screen.
Per your suggestion, I disabled my AV/Security and it launched right away. So, for some reason the application is offensive to the security software, but not enough to have it prompt me to add it to a whitelist.
Thanks for the help. At least I have a way to get around the problem of launching the application.
Hi @cflory,
Okay, I am glad that we know now why the application was blocked.
Av/Security really should not block APP on Windows, our application is digitally signed with a trusted certificate which indicates legitimate and safe software from a thrustworthy company.
I know that some freeware anti-malware software packages also block APP, which points to the makers of those software that they don't know security protocols on Windows I think.. and also places questions marks on their software as well.
To get the digital certificate to sign our software, our company, me, and our software was screened by a Global security company called GlobalSign.. 😉 . And we did this to prevent problems like this ;-(
Kind regards,
Mabula
Thanks for your help!
