Hi my loyal Process Lasso users and friends. Yes, that's right, I've made many new friends during this project ;)
I just wanted to let you know that I made what may be an unpopular change to v3.60.6. In this build, I disabled the quick exit from the nag window. So, the user now has to wait for the countdown to finish. However, they can still just drag that nag window out of the way and start using the software immediately. The nag starts after 15 days of product use, and is only 3 seconds at that time. The timer rises to maximum of 10 seconds at 40 days.
I hope this might encourage a few more people to purchase the software. The time I'm spending on Process Lasso is time taken away from PECompact, which generates more revenue because of its high priced commercial licenses. I like working on Process Lasso, so want to increase the customer conversion rate so that working on it is justified by revenue generation. If this change doesn't work, I'll undo it. I'll also still allow the quick exit from the nag dialog on all beta versions, starting with v3.61.1 beta.
The massive overhaul of the product licensing system is still pending. I haven't yet had the confidence to make such massive changes to a system that works well enough for now. I want to have this new system planned very precisely, and confident with every aspect of it, before I go to make the transition.
As always, I am dedicated to allowing FREE use of Process Lasso. Tolerating this occasional nag is the price you may pay for free use of the software. That's why I classify it as Shareware now, to avoid any accusations of dishonesty.
If anyone simply can not afford the software, or has trouble purchasing, email me. I'll give up to 10 free licenses a month, choosing who seems to need them the most. If you can afford a license, please purchase one.
Thanks to my loyal and supportive users, many of whom have taken the time to personally email me about the success they've had with Process Lasso. Others have taken the time to make feature requests or bug reports. Without our users, I wouldn't be motivated to continue developing. For me, it has never been about profits, and always been about doing something positive for the world.
