I saw that, but I don't want to send a message just to get an answer like it costs 300 USD or something else... A little more info would have been nice.

Now i'm sure we must not update it and add some comment in the entry about latest version with limited functionality, so if somebody want he can get it.
And think about alternative download location if dev will remove previous versions

Yeah... I do that sometimes...

Anyway, I wish Mr. Marc Ochsenmeier all the best!

He removed latest fully functional free version 8.51 from his site, only v. 8.49 left - https://winitor.com/tools/previous/pestudio849.zip

Summon webfork finally here

@billon
I managed to get PeStudio version 8.51 from Archive.Org, direct download link, if needed I can upload it.

smaragdus, thank you, i have 8.51
what to do with entry?

To think this app sparked the whole debate back many years ago on frequent updates within a short period of time. What a trip down memory lane that was!

Woah the price is a bit... insane... Not only that, I sure hope that's it's not 279 Euro PER YEAR just to use it.

An enthusiast PEstudio supporter wrote a detailed, illustrated primer about the free "standard" version features,
which goes some way to mitigate the lack of a customary developer's product documentation.

Every section (save a couple) listed on PEstudio left-side menu is discussed, some in fairly pedestrian terms,
some other given a reasonably elaborate pertinent treatment.

PEstudio free vs PEstudio PRO versions

Are pretty colors worth the current EUR 79 asking price for the Pro version yearly license ? Your guess is as good as mine...

I know software pricing is a difficult thing and I can see someone making the suggestion that it's only $6/month but ... *shrug*

Topic update: PeStudio Standard v9.55 released (changelog at https://www.winitor.com/tools/pestudio/changes.log).
