Hero Lab Classic 64-bit Windows Open Beta - Page 2

I have noticed that after the latest update it takes about 1 minute for the print preview to appear or to change from one page to another on the preview. It only took a few seconds in the past.

Went to test the this, realized I needed a new key, having used all mine already I uninstalled it and it took my regular Hero Lab with it, now can not find a download for the 32 bit version. Like really? WTF.

You don’t need a NEW key you just need to reactivate the key because its a different version number for the 64bit...

With the recent announcement of the latest MacOS (10.15 Catalina) to be released in about 3-4 months not including support for 32-bit apps, what will timeline for the Mac 64-bit version look like? Hero Lab has been throwing a warning about being 32-bit for the last two years so this isn't exactly a new issue.

LWD has stated that their 64 but Mac version is more stable and does not need a public beta to be ready.

Apple also showed new development tools that allow you to start a iOS or desktop app and then convert the code to the other on the fly. This could seriously shorten lead times and allow for desktop and portable product with feature parity without the need for two devopment teams.

Another problem is when I click on an ability to move it up or down or try to type anything there is a delay of 2 to 3 seconds. Very frustrating.

Where did they state this? And did they mention an eta?

For those of you wondering about a Mac 64-bit, I've uploaded a 64-bit beta and set up a separate thread in the forums for the Mac beta:
