Hmm, I just got an e-mail saying that my last year's license will expire soon. Do these keys only last a year? :(

Bought this one few years ago for like 8 bucks, a steel if you ask me. I didn't configure much and left everything on default, especially the ProBalance settings, as PL does everything for me, i don't have to be on the lookout all the time. My CPU isn't that great, so PL does all the hard work for me in the background. If you have a older CPU and lots of processes running in the background, PL will surely help you prioritizing what's needed most, which is a heavy task doing it all manually.

Give it a go and see for yourself, as mentioned, depending on the CPU that's being used, impact is more or less drastic. On newer CPU's, you shouldn't see much of a difference.

How long is this licensed for?
Does the download automatically know if you have 32 or 64 win version?

License says...

"Process Lasso Pro Workstation - Monthly Subscription"

How many months????

Been using Process Lasso for years. License expired and I missed the application. Thank you GAOTD for this freebie. great program, does as claimed, runs well on Win10 64bit.

Been using this software for quite a few years now - I find it particularly useful given my PC is now 8 years old.

Installed easily, registration was easy, I like the GUI, seems very intuitive, at the moment says my computer is good, but if its better than Microsoft Task Manager I am all for it!

Please note that the software you download and install during
the Giveaway period comes with the following important limitations:

1) No free technical support
2) 30 days of free updates
3) Reactivation in the event of activation loss not guaranteed.

Been using it for years since Windows XP -- a lifesaver and highly recommended.

Less dramatic difference seen on Windows 10 system due to advances in hardware and improved OS, but runs unintrusively and system is "smoother" (fewer occasional random hangs or slowdowns).

There is much useful information on the bitsum.com website which explains the difference between the typical/ordinary "priority boosting" feature of other products and this one, and why you may not notice immediate "improvements" in speed/performance.

If you install it and do not immediately experience any catastrophic problems, I suggest you leave it installed for at least a few days (and through a few system restarts) to better judge its effects before uninstalling it.

I've used PLasso for years - mainly on XP and 8.1.1. It has saved me on many occasions when a program has crashed or become unresponsive. I have been able to go into PLP find the program pause it switch to other programs in memory and exit them gracefully (saving all the work). I have not used it on W10 (multi-core) but as mike says (#18) it is easy to start/stop on demand.

I have also managed to stop a virus application by inspecting what is in memory, stop it and then clean up. I would like to know (from Bitsum or other knowledgeable person) whether it could be used to identify/delete a Ransomeware application (not the kind that locks your disk but I have seen clients with screen and keyboard lockouts that are hard to wrestle control back and fix)

Tried to download four times from the link you sent, but every time it came out "damaged". It looks like just what I need, since there is a windows process that continually runs and pushes my cpu to %, really messing with things. I easily downloaded and installed the free version from their website, and if it actually does what it says it would be worth buying I think. We'll see.

Very good, I liked it!

Altho every time GOTD offers Process Lasso (thank you, Bitsum), people say it makes no difference or hinders Windows 10, I have found the software useful in one important way. When my computer fan would run endlessly, PL allowed me to isolate two Windows programs that ran and restarted constantly -- even tho I never opened them! With PL engaged, I can now prevent Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Photos from launching. I put "microsoft.photos.exe" and "microsoftedgecp.exe" on my disallowed processes list and PL terminates them every time.

Hi. Everything went well until activating the program. I have a net connection and no firewall but still fail to accept the activation code saying it's problem with connection. Any advice? I'm running win 8.1 on Zenbook laptop. thanks.

not for me unninstall windows10 64 pro

I finally broke down and bought this last month. I love it. I've loved it for years. This is a great piece of software that does what it says and it can save you in a bad situation. I love knowing exactly what's running at any given moment. If you don't have it, get it now while you have a chance. Even the free version is great. How can you go wrong?

windows 10 64 bit: Increased boot time by 2 minutes; however, once booted, browsers loaded much faster and faster response time of programs after boot. Computer is an hp omen; 17 inch laptop. I am not bothered by the longer boot time as long as once booted, I get better response when working.

I have used this software for over a year, purchased the life time updates when it was first offered, using it on a Windows 7 desktop and 2 laptops, on 3 Windows 10 laptops, Get frequent updates, Have had no problems what so ever. Bitsum Technologies Software is good stuff. Thank You.

Had a previous GAOTD version from May 2017 (eng # 3420400 9.0.0.384). It worked well for a bit under a year, but eventually was unable to (for lack of a better term) keep the speed up on priority programs like Photoshop.
Today's GAOTD installed eng # 3980100 9.0.0.538 During install some of the option choices could do with more clarification. For instance, does "Ask startup and scope..." mean it will prompt for configuration choices at every startup, or once, do you need this module installed to be able to configure it ? What does the "Reset..." install option do, etc. These are more confusing than they need to be. On the plus side, when started it appears to have picked up my registration from the previous version without having to register the new copy. Hope the new version resorts it's effectiveness. Thank you GAOTD & Bitsum.

I first downloaded Process Lasso Pro when it was offered as a giveaway here years ago. I soon bought it to continue to upgrade and it is an absolutely essential program. Do NOT miss it if you don't have it yet. It substantially speeds up the computer, especially as the computer gets older and more and more software is added. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's a breeze to use and you do not have to know anything technical to use it.

This seems to be a product that allows free updates from earlier GOTD. I've had it for a year or so, yes on a win10-64 system. Just checked my version and it matches what is being given today and recall a couple times it prompted to update. This is unlike Clean Master that seems to have reverted to "Free" from Pro and Advanced system care constantly reminding me to upgrade for $$$.

I used Process Lasso Pro (PLP) for many years. Had it on XP, then Win 10. About a year ago I bought a super-super fast computer, loads of RAM and 1Tb SSD drive... a bomb! Then, I installed PLP over it. Very soon, the computer started to have hicups. I checked everything, thinking it was some other installation. Then, on a hunch, I decided to uninstall PLP, lo and behold, all the speed and internal management came back by enchantment!

Moral of the story: If you have an "old" OS, such as XP or below, PLP "might" help you (if you know how to set it up that is). If you have a more recent (and fast computer), PLP "might" slow it down.

PLP is an old software, built for old OS systems. No use with today's fast cars!

To all die hard users of Windows XP out there:

Bitsum kindly offers a free pro version of Process Lasso over here:

Take care.

This is really great for those who like to tweak your own PC , especially when you need the best CPU energy efficiency! Already own a paid version, just here to recommand.

I bought this after trying an earlier version from GOTD. Amazingly versatile software. More than I need, but good for analysis and granular control. Highly recommended.

Process Lasso was a must in the past and I used it on many machines with single CPU and single core, however, the need for it diminished when the multi processors CPU arrived and 16G of ram installed. I do not see it as relevant as in the past, the difference in performance is negligible now with or out without Process Lasso. Win 10 does a very good memory and processes management and in some configurations with win 10, Process Lasso slows down the computer.

I tried it years ago in an act of desperation on a Vista machine. It didn't do a thing. I did discover Vista was trying to use 110% of the available ram. I upgraded ram and that helped some, but, I'm afraid there really isn't any help for Vista. As far as this program, I can't really endorse it. If you think it helps, go for it.

If you wish to get the most out of your computer replace your obsolete HDD by SSD and get more and faster RAM if the installed is not enough.

Using it for setting affinity when streaming... Option to save affinity settings is very useful...

This is not needed and will likely make your system slower, especially on Windows 10. You "might" see some benefit on XP. On an even slightly newer machine Process Lasso does nothing...I think the term is 'snake oil'.
You can easily change the priority of various processes with Anvir Taskmanager...which is free.

How can I activate pro license ?

None of these types of programs can improve things. In fact they slow things up and they don't do a top notch job.
The last time I had one of their products it slowed everything down to a crawl. And there is no prof just here say of what people say and that is just not good enough.

Unless they can give you a guarantee and a full lifetime license then no way I would I touch their stuff again.

At this time of the latest generation of processors, Process Lasso and / or related programs have little or no benefit.

I have used Process Lasso for half of the year. To be honest, it is perfect software. But I still not buy the Process Lasso, I can’t believe it is shown in the Giveaway site.

I've been a fan of this program for quite a few years, now. Process Explorer is certainly a strong competitor for it, though, so if you're reluctant to pay the $36, you won't be far behind the super-geeks swanking about with Process Lasso.

I have tried various versions this in the past and found that it lacks one (to me vital) component. Being ignorant of how priorities work maybe it cant be done. Anyway this is to the developer in the hope he can incorporate it. When the program I am focusing on slows down I have tried going into task manager to see what is causing it and invariably it is my C:\ disk running at 100%. I check to see what is doing the most reading of the disk and find it is a background process. I change that process to lowest priority and the program I want to be using to highest priority but it makes not the slightest difference to the priority of disk use, maybe it changes priority of CPU use but the CPU is not slowing me down its the disk. Maybe I need more RAM.
Anyway if you could incorporate a routine to solve this problem your software would be a winner but in my case your routines that automatically change CPU priorities don't seem to help.

Setting the priority of a process on Windows is of no use, nothing really happens tbh.
Idk if it was a good idea to create an 'algorithm' for a simple thing like:
+ Getting all processes
+ Getting their used memory and CPU usage
If a process CPU usage is high then change it's priority to High or Realtime whatever..
And if process is in background and no CPU usage then priority = low.

Idk if it was a good idea to make it this complicated for a thing like Task Manager.
You have done a good job making such a cool software and thanks for the giveaway but I'll stick to this classic freeware.

Life is short to buy a task manager/manage process running in the background. Instead I'd do my work, shutdown the computer and go out in the sun, no kidding.

I downloaded and installed Process Lasso the last time it was offered on GOTD. After a while it would generate popup messages saying an update was available which I just dismissed as I didn't think updates were provided in that version. About a week ago it updated itself to Pro v9.0.0.538x64 which is also listed on their homepage as the latest version and seems to be running fine.

Anyway think it's a very good product but if you have it running from before you might want to check to see if you need this update. Recommended & thanks.
