Which Is the last compatible version anyways ;)

I am very happy with this program. On my Win 7 (32 bit & 64 bit) as well as my Win 8.1, they have allowed me to tinker with individual program priority settings, so that I can see exactly how they are all performing well, with no hiccups or other complications.

It sounds good but seriously, it will hog your computer resources because it needs lots of computing power to produce all it promises. That said, the best way to have a smooth running computer is to invest in a more powerful CPU and motherboard plus of course more ram. No workaround this, I'm afraid.

I've never heard of this program but I was looking thru GOTD at a previous BitSum program and would welcome some advice:

Does this Process Lasso 9 program includes the functions in last years "ParkControl Pro 1.2.5.6" offered by BitSum thru GOTD on April 17, 2017

I bought a whole house license a few years back. We have had great benefits on all our PC's. The program delivers more than it claims!

Installed & Registered ok but Wisecare now shows boot up speed as 62 secs (Snail emblem)
Before installing Wisecare 365 showed the rocket emblem and boot up took only 21 secs.
Anyone else noted the much slower boot up? Any suggestions on how to stop Lasso slowing boot up?

Yay, it's PL day! I have used Process Lasso for years and love it. There are already quite a few comments here discussing the merits of its default settings, and how the benefits depend on your OS and hardware. So let me just throw out some info about what you can do beyond "set it and forget it".

It gives you many ways to control the way processes behave. You can apply controls to all processes or specific ones, for all time or just once. You can even set up custom watchdog rules.

Examples: you can use it on the fly to trim memory, change priority of a process that's either hogging too many resources or not getting enough, force-terminate annoying programs once/always, quickly jump to the process on your hard drive/on the Internet, and launch a variety of Windows tools.

More: you can use it to make sure your PC never goes to sleep while it is downloading an ISO or backing up to the cloud, that your display always stays on while your multi-media apps are active, that resource-intensive programs are given high priority, that memory hogs always get trimmed or restarted when they hit x amount, and that games and other high performance processes trigger a change of power plan to the optimized plan that ships with PL (it disables core parking, among other things). That's just a sample; I keep finding ways for it to make my life easier.

You can also tweak many settings related to memory and CPU priorities, limits, and defaults. Yes, you can do many of these things other ways, but it's handy to have one place to manage all things related to running processes, memory and CPU. I have no affiliation with the company other than as a customer. I just want to say thank you to Bitsum and GOTD.

does anyone know the GOTD's licensing on Process Lasso PRO? I have used this utility for years, its a great product and well supported. I want a lot of my clients to use it, but I need to let them know if this is a PRO version as it states and is the license limited? Thanks,

perfect! "must have"!

Prevent processes freezing your computer by hogging the CPU. Great software A+++.

I've been using this program for years and it does help to keep the computer running smoothly when you have a program hogging CPU etc.

I was able to download and attempt to install the program but it won't complete the install with a message that this version is not for my OS!
Apparently the download is for Windows 7, 64 bit. But I am running Windows 7, 32 bit.

I went to the Process Lasso home page, downloaded the 32 bit pro version and was able to enter the activation code from this page.

Thank you Bitsum and GOTD for this great program.

Process Lasso helps, though when it comes to making a noticeable difference, your mileage will vary depending on Windows version and the device's hardware. We've got 4 low powered devices with win10 1803 -- (2) tablets running Atom CPUs, a miniPC running a Celeron, & a 2-in-1 running an i3 -- where Process Lasso makes a definite, positive difference. However it's not just about the CPU -- the 2-in-1 has a slow hard drive, and nothing short of replacing that drive is going to boost performance when that drive's the bottleneck, so the real world effects of Process Lasso are more limited than on the other 3 devices. This PC OTOH is running an i7, as I type this it's using 4% CPU @ 799 MHz, while using ~3.5 GB RAM out of 16 GB, so there is much less benefit to running Process Lasso at the moment.

That has not been my experience -- it's really easy to turn the app on/off so you can judge its effects for yourself, & I suggest folks do just that, with one potential caveat... on those low powered devices, Task Mgr. in win10 1803 uses a LOT more resources than prior versions, so if you use Windows Task Mgr. to monitor the results using Process Lasso, you might suffer enough of a performance hit to negate its benefits. [I have not noticed an increase in the amount of resources Process Lasso uses in 1803.]

Process Lasso is a quick & easy install, so you're only risking a few minutes of your time trying it out.

FYI. This is the same version as the last time it was on GOTD.

Installed and activated. Now my browser and other programs currently running seem to be more responsive than before installing Process Lasso.

Being a user of 3D art applications, there was no way I was going to miss out on this one. After reading the promo above and learning what it does, plus the comments here thus far, I decided this was for me. So I downloaded it, installed it, got the activation code and entered it as per the readme instructions, and one activated, I got immediate results. My PC runs way too many background processes, eating up my RAM incessantly, and this program has reduced the amount of RAM usage considerably.

Thank you, GOTD and BitSum!

This software was great a decade ago when we dealt with single core processors, now, if you have a quad processor or higher, you will not notice any difference in the performance.
What I do not like about process Lasso is the ability to slow down background processes to give you more power in foreground, if you do that, the net result is a washout (no over all noticeable gain is achieved).
In win 10, slowing down the background (those are the drivers that make your system run smooth and fast) will cause jittery screens, poor video and communications, especially if you run a home network or any kind of a server.

How do I get the activation code? They said they sent it to my email, but nothing. Should I uninstall program and reinstall it? it's been 2 hours

I bought this years ago & swear by it! Especially useful on older (slower) PC's!

Freebie License Terms:

+ 30 days of free updates.
+ Must activate within those 30 days.
+ Reactivation in the event of activation loss not guaranteed.
+ This IS real license with an update period of 1 month. You can choose to upgrade or renew if you want, but that is optional. You can stay with your last entitled build indefinitely.
+ Code for 50% off Lifetime license (optional)

I have been using this app for several years and believe it was free when I first got it. It is now version 9.0.0.452 and updates automatically. Since this offer is numbered as Lasso Pro 9, my guess is it would be the lifetime version. I would definitely recommend trying it.

I have used this program for over a year and I'm surprised that it works as well as is does. I like the display for all 8 CPU cores and the load on each as well as my RAM load. I would recommend this program.

HI, I GOT THIS YEARS AGO HERE AND HAVE SINCE PURCHASED THE PRO. THIS PROGRAM IS FABULOUS! I had the caps lock on accidentally and was going to retype as I do not mean to be yelling.

But looking at it. Process Lasso praise should be in all caps. I have been using for years and it really allows control of your machine down to the detail level, for priorities and all the things you wish Windows TM did but does not do.

I've used Process Lasso and its upgrades for several years now. It definitely helps speed up the processing.

I have a question. Is it going to be lifetime with unlimited update or there's a limitation?

installed and tried running the site given to get the activation code but the information give takes me to nothing. nothing about registration.
Have tried everything i know to do.

Downloaded and installed.Followed instructions in read me file, no problem. Working perfectly.

For those who are critical of my #1 response...... I installed Win 10 x32 on a grossly underpowered - and rather ancient - Lenovo S10-2 some time back --> and "Cool Beans System Info" showed the Atom CPU was flogging itself to near-death at 100% - and seldom going lower!

After installing this Process Lasso program - and fiddling with its settings {Blindly I might add} it is NOW coasting along at around 19% CPU usage!

A vast improvement on the previous 100% CPU usage which, previously, went on for hours!

It's really a great little helper, which uses hardly any resources.

I use (and pay for) the app on multiple PC's / Tablets for several years now and I highly recommend it, if you are a power-user / hardcore-gamer / overclocker, to squeeze the last bit of extra power out of your system.

I had problems, downloaded and installed. But in the C file only installed a help.ex file. Deleted & reinstalled, but same problem so deleted again, Finish.....

I got License but whenever I try to register it, I keep on getting the error message
"Bitsum’s web server does not appear to be accessible! Check
For firewalls or security software that may be blocking it, or
Check your general network connectivity"
even after putting off all antiviruses and firewall as well as fixing internet connectivity. dissapointed me and uninstalled it.

I got the mail with the link
but then....
This site can’t be reached
www.giveawayoftheday..com’s server IP address could not be found.

Finnaly! i was waiting for it long time to be on gaotd

A great program ! I have installed it - over the years - on all my 'puters!
