Herolab iPad Update

Hello, I was fortunate enough to meet some of the super talented and awesome people at lone wolf while attending paizocon. The con was great, and the HL women and men were just as great. (thanks for giving the GM's RealmWorks!)


I was curious when the new iPad app would be getting submitted for appstore approval, originally someone said they'd be putting into the system around the middle of July with an anticipated release 'end of July'

There was also some information shared with me about additional licensing. As I own HeroLab with many Pathfinder addons I was concerned that Id have to rebuy all my books again. Someone mentioned that I can either use my second license, or buy an additional license at 10$.

Where would I do that? Id much rather spend 10$ when the app goes live than have to lose access to HL on my secondary PC.

Anyway, I can't wait for the update!
 
Our newsletters are where you can find out about the plans for the full iPad version: http://www.wolflair.com/news/newsletter/june-2014/ As of the June newsletter, the plan was for submission to the Apple Store late this month.

You can add additional licenses to your account through the "Obtain Secondary License" option in the License menu within Hero Lab. License number 2 is free (sounds like you've already gotten that one), the third and fourth cost $10 each, and once the full iPad version is available, the option to purchase a fifth at $10 will become available. All secondary licenses share the same purchased game systems and packages as the main license they're linked to.
 
Yes, please make sure each of your devices has it's OWN license, or you'll run into some issues with monthly updates.
 
Is there any chance of increasing the licensing to 6. :D

I've got 4 already, 2 desktops 2 laptops but I have 2 iPads that both run the HL IPad app. :cool:

Once I get an iMac and MacBook I'll have to release a desktop and a laptop license, unless I can get another 2 for a total of 8 licenses.

Right now we don't have any plans to increase to 6. We did quite a bit of research when deciding whether to increase to 5 or 6. We looked at the number of users using all 4 codes right now (versus users using 3), as well as the downsides associated with the issue templeton alluded to. We had to strike the balance somewhere, so we decided upon 5.

Will this ever go beyond Pathfinder, in other words open up to all HL data sets

After the update releases and we've determined that it's stable, we'll look into support other game systems, as well as other platforms or bringing in further support for Pathfinder like GM tools. We have a lot of options for what to tackle next, so we want to weigh the pros and cons before committing to one.
 
All my players care about is if they finally have SOMETHING anything that tells a person that they rolled a 20. Be even better if it noticed what the crit range of the weapon was and flashed/changed color/bold the d20 roll. Currently the all black text means many times they miss they rolled a 20... :(
 
It's official - we've submitted the Hero Lab iPad update to the app store! Now we're just waiting for it to be approved by Apple.

So stupid question but this will upgrade the existing iPad app right? Or do we have to download a different new app from the App Store?
 
Have you updated the amount of licenses we can have from 4 to 5?
I tried to obtain the 5th license but it said I already have the maximum allowed already :(

So I am hopeful it will happen soon?
