Tomorrow

Kill what exactly? I did not suggest killing or removing Extreme version. If anything this could add additional subscribers who never considered Extreme version. Or to use your analogy - adding a smaller cow that adds 1/3rd of the milk of the bigger cow, does not mean you need to send your bigger cow to the slaughterhouse...

Ok. Thank you for the answers.

I hope you're not forgetting that sudden jump inflation also affects your customers. That is why i suggested basic edition that is slightly more restricted but still offers good value even when prices are increasing for everyone. Im sorry you feel like home users should pay more for features they dont need or rarely use. And sure i get that for you it's easier to maintain fewer editions. Could you elaborate on the licensing differences between engineer and business that justifies asking the same price for both? Good to hear that you dont start nagging paid users if they dont renew annually. Unlike some others... I still believe there is a place for a cheaper basic edition. Even if it cuts no features but only cuts the amount of licenses from 3 to 1. Those that need to run in 3 different PC's at the same time can still buy extreme edition.

I feel like AIDA64 pricing is all over the place right now. The cheapest edition for home users is $60 annually. That's way too expensive for a monitoring software. Much more complex software (that is native 64bit and has dark mode) costs less. Also the fact the the cheapest edition is named Extreme. Should there not be a Basic edition for $20 and with a longer lasting license? Also the Engineer and Business edition pricing makes no sense. Why is Engineer priced the same as Business, when Business is a superset of Engineer in terms of features? Why would ANYONE buy Engineer edition when they can buy the Business edition for the same money and get a superior version with what seems very similar licensing terms? Engineer edition should cost less. Here are my proposed prices: Basic: $20 annually or $60 3-Year license. Cuts benchmarking and stress testing features from Extreme. Also limits license to 1 PC instead of 3 like Extreme. Extreme: $60. Stays the same as now. Network: $130. Stays the same as now. Engineer: $180. Price lowered to reflect inferior feature set. Business: $220. Stays the same as now.

Plus now OLED monitors are becoming common and dark mode makes them last longer and consume less power. So now it's no longer just a health issue but could also bring tangible benefits to monitor lifetime and power consumption.

Are there any plans for a separate 64bit only version of AIDA64? I could not find such version. I suppose currently it's 32bit mostly for compablity reasons? Also i can not get around the name itself - AIDA64 - it's literally implied in the name that it is a 64bit program.

Installing KB3033929 fixed it. Thanks.

Since upgrading to 5.50 i noticed that i was missing several readings from the sidebar gadget (specificly GPU VRM, CPU Package, Motherboard temp, GPU usage and GPU VRAM usage). Going into settings i discovered that pretty much the only things that were left were drive, network and memory related readings. No CPU, GPU or voltage/fan readings anymore. I also uninstalled and reinstalled without my INI file but no success. Eventually i downgraded to 5.30 that properly displays all readings. I looked at 5.50 changelog and i did not see any mention of dropping support for P67 chipset. And yes i did restart after 5.50 install. So...what gives? Specs are as follows: Windows 7 SP1 x64 (not fully updated with latest patches) Asus SaberTooth P67 Motherboard Intel Core i5 2500K CPU AMD Radeon 7870 XT GPU AIDA Extreme Edition

Ok i found out what was the problem. On my current install windows task scheduler is acting stragely and when aida64 tried to scan for tasks in Software/Scheduled it crashed. Thus the report generation silently failed (no error message). What i did is i created a .rpf (Report Profile) file manually and excluded scheduled tasks from report. Everything works now both trough UI and commandline. Thank you for the responses and thank you for an awesome program.

Perhaps it is something to do with the fact that im using the portable version? I have to test installer version too and different write locations. I'll let you know what i find out.

This is what im trying to use: aida64 /R C:\Report.html /HTML /SHOWPCANCEL But its not working. I can see the report generation and i can cancel it but the file is never written to specified location. Is my commandline incorrect? Im trying to execute the command via batch file. AIDA64 Business 3.00.2500 Portable Windows 7 x64 SP1 (fully updated + admin rights and command box is run as administrator).

Yeah same here. So far so good with 3.00.2505 BETA.

This fixed it for me.

Hmm i too have crashes with 3.00.2500 Although in my case it crashes without an error message or trace. Just quits and leaves no sign in Event Log. So i took and backed up my main ini file. Then started with a clean one (let AIDA64 generate one). No crashes. Perfectly stable. So i started to enable settings i have one by one in the hope of finding the culprit. Everything was stable until i got to File > Prefereces > External Applications. Namely enabling Shared Memory produces an instant crash (again no error message). Also trying to enable any values to be written to Rivatuner OSD serves seems to greatly increase crash frequency. So i figured i had solved the problem and went deleted the new ini file. Replaced with my old ini file and disabled both shared memory and wrinting to OSD (infact disabled all settings under External Applicatons). But no luck. For some reason i even got more frequent crashes than with the new ini. On a hunch i disabled desktop gadget and voila - Stable. No crashes. I went into windows gadgets and noticed there were 2 of them there by AIDA64 - 2.70 and 3.0. Uninstalled 2.70 but no difference. However for complete stability i must have everything unchecked under Extrenal Applications and Desktop Gadget Support must be disabled. For those of you who have problems you may try and disable those and see if it solves your problems. Its ofcourse entirely possible that my problem is completely unrelated to this but you never know.

Ok. I guess i have to live with it. Thanks for the help.
