We have no idea at this point. The reason is simply that we don't know what will be included in the APG, so we can't make a concrete assessment. My best guess is that the APG will include lots of new stuff that will entail lots of work on our part to add into the data files. We have to defray the cost of that work, so it's probable that we'll treat the APG as an add-on package. If so, the cost would depend on the complexity (i.e. work) involved. However, the APG add-on will be useful to everyone - not just GMs - so we can spread that cost over more users and ideally keep the price lower than we can for an add-on like the Bestiary. That's the hope, at least. We'll know more once we actually see the APG, and we don't know when that will be at this point.

One trick you can use is to create a copy of a creature in the Editor and also create a new creature in the Editor. You can then bounce back and forth between them to systematically copy the pertinent details across.
If you want, you can open two copies of Hero Lab. Then open the Editor in each and put the windows side-by-side. Copy the creature in one and create a new creature in the other. Then you can use the technique above without having to switch between them.
Hope this helps...

Only one question: I have a license for my desktop and one for my laptop. How does downloading and re-registering work with two keys?
If you buy the Bestiary package (which I assume you're referring to, since this is the Bestiary thread), you'll be able to use it on both your licensed computers - it'll become available on each one as you download the new Pathfinder update.
Hopefully this answers your question - if not, can you explain exactly what you mean by "downloading and re-registering"?

It does, I meant "downloading the bestiary" and "re-activating the key" as instructed. Worked fine on my desktop, but wasn't sure since there's a unique key assigned to the laptop that there would be any fuss.
Is it just me, or did the wolf and tiger races get removed in the basic pathfinder module for animal companions and hirelings which could double as mounts? Did these and possible other animals get moved to the bestiary pack? I don't think that's fair since these basic animals are in the core rule book.
Edit. Ahh I see whats going on. I need to rebuild my character profile since its not reading my old profile correctly probably due to versioning. a PITA but still workable.

You can add multiple characters to a single portfolio. So create a new portfolio and name it something like "Encounter #1". Add all the various NPCs and monsters associated with the encounter to the portfolio. Save the portfolio with everything in it.
During the game, when the PCs reach Encounter #1, go to the Portfolio menu and select the option to "Import Hero from Portfolio". Now select the "Encounter #1" portfolio you created earlier. All the NPCs and monsters for the encounter will be listed and you can import all of them with a couple mouse clicks. At this point, all of them are now accessible within the Tactical Console for use.
When the encounter is completed, go to the Portfolio menu and select the "Delete Multiple" option. Then delete the various creatures from Encounter #1, leaving the PCs in place. You're now ready to repeat the process for Encounter #2.
Hope this helps....
I do intend to add the monsters from the Adventure Paths that were published under the Pathfinder rules, although I don't know when I'll have the time to do so.
Conversions of the SRD adventure path monsters are not very likely - there are just too many judgement calls involved in the conversion process.

Is there a way to set up multiple-beastie encounters so that it calculates CRs?
