Lifetime updates become available again after brief experiment

Every once and a while I'll try my hand at 'marketing'. This usually doesn't turn out well, and my most recent experiment is no exception.Based on reviewing other software vendors policies, receiving opinions from partners, and having a desire to simplify my licensing, I decided to try doing away with lifetime update purchases. I figured that if every license had a one year update subscription, it would simply be less confusing and the price of the product more clear. Also, it would allow for more recurring revenue.Sales this week didn't go bad,...

Development advances

I'm working hard on getting v3.84 final out quickly. This version will be a good polish. There may be a few minor updates after it, but I want to start with version 4 beta immediately after v3.84. Its been since v3.80 I really ripped at the guts of Process Lasso, and so its past time for my usual improvements. I'll create the best product I possibly can, and let the market decide if its worthy.I am going to retreat on the nags yet again. Yes, I move back and forth with the aggressiveness of the nags like a crazy person. In my defense, they haven't...

Version 4 on the distant horizon

Version 4 is on the distant horizon. This will be another major upgrade of the product. I'm not going to be adding bloat, don't worry. It will actually streamline the product in some respects.

Here are a few:Vastly improved update mechanism - Registered (Pro) version users will no longer have to log in to our Support area to download updates.

v3.82.5 - a minor update

I've released v3.82.5. This is a very minor update, as the version number indicates. The Server Edition was branched, so people using the standard edition on a server are going to see a warning when they start the GUI and log entry when the core engine is started. Additionally, the French translation was updated and a few other little things were tweaked to handle the full branch of the Server Editi...

Server Edition Branched

I've branched the Server Edition so that it is treated as a completely separate product than Process Lasso's standard branch. In the past, it was simply a different license type. For existing Server Edition users, you will be receiving an email in the next week explaining the new branch and what steps you should take for future updates. Basically, you will be switching to the Server Edition and assigned an activation code. One advantage of using an activated edition is that updates will no longer require you to login to our Support area. In the...

v3.82.4 released

I've rolled up all minor adjustments since the launch of v3.82.3 and put them into v3.82.4. This is merely a quickie release prior to larger changes planned for v3.84.One notable difference in v3.82.4 is that the standard edition of Process Lasso will emit a warning when installed on Windows Servers. Since we now have a dedicated Server Edition of Process Lasso, it is that edition that should be used on Windows Servers. For now, it is just a warning, but in the future the standard edition will refuse to run on servers. By differentiating between...
