Hi Steven, no I'm sorry, the Help points out that several commands of version 2025 will work in SaaS only. Use version 2024 instead ...by gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: HUpdateLink now only on SAAS !!!! - Yesterday
Hi Steven, yes, in version 2025, hUpdateLink is for SaaS users only. You have to use version 2024 in order to use it with a dongle. Quite a lot of functions in v2025 is SaaS now.by gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: Web Application Sever 2025 - Yesterday
Hi Greg, yes, of course. You got a product and can use it indefinitely. Meanwhile we even have the confirmation that PC Soft will exchange defective dongles too.by gpredl - WinDev Forum

Re: PCSoft new policy >broken dongles< - 6 days ago
Hi JP, no, SaaS works without any dongles, you just have to pay. No payment - no access to your sources.by gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: PCSoft new policy >broken dongles< - 9 days ago
Hi Fabrice, as it seems, there happened a small but important change of policy! I have a dongle and it stopped working. Can I replace it? Yes, you can exchange a damaged dongle. An exchange fee will be charged, contact us to learn more. You can also convert your dongle-based license to a SaaS subscription, and get rid of all the risks of dongle-based licenses.

Hi Ismir, I'm sorry, the WEBDEV Application Server is per SaaS available only. 25$ / month = 300,- / yearby gpredl - WinDev Forum

Hi Allard, the new owners want to see fat profits. 4D's pricing scheme is much higher. 4D charges for end-user runtimes too!by gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: Network/DB Speed - 6 weeks ago
Hi Steve, no, the queried non-unique key to the file is a composed string of 16 bytes (date(8) + customer#(6) + document#(2)), several records (5 - 100) may contain the same key value, these are to be shown in a Table control. file size is 1.71 Gb, number of records is ~2.2 million. A query took up to 20 seconds with varying results, sometimes much faster, sometimes taking as long as 20 secondby gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: Network/DB Speed - 7 weeks ago
Hi, queries on big files have to be slow. Here, having a data file with 2.2 million records and running a query yielding about 50 records out of it, this will be inevitably slow. No way out. Yes, you can do a lot of research and waste your time on speeding the query up! Long ago I did so and wasted my time. Instead, in order to fill a "Table Control populated programmatically", do thby gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: Migration Strategies - Syncfusion - 7 weeks ago
Hi, did you see the price? US$ 395 / month = US$ 4740 / year! Why don't you stay with WX ? Uh, I see, the "Community License" is free. Can you publish any products under this license? Isn't that for open source only?by gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: PC Soft's WinDev, WebDev & Mobile vs VisualStudio - 7 weeks ago
Hi Derek, Imho, the price of Syncfusion with US$ 395 / MONTH is prohibitive ... if you buy that then you could stay with WX anyway!? What's the positive difference there?by gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: Windev Mobile - 8 weeks ago
Hi, try Flutter / Dart. Yes, you have to learn a new environment, a new language ... but it is completely free like a free beer. However, there is a bunch of generators out there in the web to speed up development. These aren't free, of course.by gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: Saas Subcription - what are the response from european developers - 8 weeks ago
Thank you, Mr. Garrido! To clarify things: the WLanguge and WX-products are intellectual property of PC SOFT. It's OK to make a program - using any other programming language / IDE - to translate your project's WLanguage source code (e.g. from GitHub) to any other programming environment. It's definitely not OK using a WLanguage program for such a task. See the general cby gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: Moving to a new IDE - Consider AI ? - 8 weeks ago
Hi, in flutterflow, testing is free, however you have to pay US$ 30.- / month if you want to get / see your generated source, US$ 70.- to upload the executable to both play stores. It may be a timesaver, but I think, it isn't worth it. Rather look at or or understand code generation with Andrea Discussion on Look at the number of packagesby gpredl - WinDev Forum

Hi Brian, A similar catastrophe befell the owners of the Fisker Ocean vehicles, who could no longer even open the vehicles, let alone drive them, after the sudden disappearance of the manufacturer. The vehicles could no longer be used without the central servers!by gpredl - WinDev Forum

Translation to English. Link to French version: Lettre ouvert OPEN LETTER TO PCSoft. I've been working with “Windev” tools for over 20 years and as a direct client for over 10 years.

Re: PCSoft new policy - 2 months ago
Hi Mike, be assured, they can't destroy your dongle and the - ageing - version of WX on your hard disk. After all, you paid for it and did not steal it. However, you are excluded from any new features of future versions! This will force a few hard decisions on you, your products, your customers and your company anyway. They're not easy to answer and answers will be different for each deby gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: PCSOFT dongle version no more - 2 months ago
Hi, your questions are valid questions, no one except PC Soft can answer. I strongly recommend to send your questions to PC Soft and ask for an answer! Maybe, they did not think it through completely, maybe they thought it through and decided to just go for it? I don't know, I have no answers, sorry.by gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: PCSOFT dongle version no more - 2 months ago
Hi Paolo, the world of software is in constant flow. E.g. we found out that code signing our software is now possible only using a dongle, starting at 159,- EUR / year the cheapest, equals 13,25 / month. Our certification provider has stopped doing business with code signing just because of that. One can't deliver unsigned software for windows systems anymore. Our own software is changby gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: PCSOFT dongle version no more - 2 months ago
Hi, yes, for the time being, this seems to be correct! Stop paying - stop developing! Till now, PC SOFT didn't and doesn't clarify anything, even to us distributors. However, if you stop paying or you can't afford the payments anymore, that means that you don't have a running business anymore. Why would you develop anything without a business? Even if you're jobless, Iby gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: PCSOFT dongle version no more - 2 months ago
Hi JP, no, if you had to upgrade your dongle using the upgrade software then the 2025 version is on your dongle and its there until the next hundred years! Don't panic!by gpredl - WinDev Forum
Re: PCSOFT dongle version no more - 2 months ago
Hi Aad, no, this is just a sales message and no, they will / can not turn off your dongle version 24. But, to make things clear, you cannot upgrade your dongle to dongle version 2025, you have to order SaaS and will get the newest / last version available. Until March 31st, you can upgrade your dongle 24 version to version 2025 SaaS for 540,- Euros / year only! Means, that they don'by gpredl - WinDev Forum
