Hi all,
As some of you know, there have been issues activating Nodal recently (an error involving a web api that prevents the software from running). The cause of this problem is a change made by the company that provides the licensing system for Nodal.

We are working on a fix for this issue and hope to have a new release in the next few days that will solve the problem. I'll post a message in this group and make an announcement on the website as soon as the update is available to download.

At the moment we have also suspended any new sales of the software until the license issue is fixed.

I realise this is very inconvenient for anyone affected by the issue, we are working hard to release an update. Thanks for being patient and for your support of Nodal.

Jon

Hi Jon,

Thank you so much for the update on the current issue. 

Would you mind letting us know if Nodal is still in development, feature-wise? And if hopefully the answer is yes, could you share some details on what you are working on?

Many thanks.

Philippe

Hi Phillippe,
Yes, we are still developing Nodal, the main current efforts are keeping up to date with OS changes (particularly from Apple) to ensure a high-quality user experience.
I know people would like more regular updates, feature enhancements, etc. The difficulty for us is that we don't have a large enough user base to fund a developer full time, so we have to wait until we have sufficient sales to fund a development sprint, and the software developer has to be available at the same time. This limits the pace at which we can release updates.

We have looked at other possibilities, like making the software open-source. However the cross-platform build procedure is quite complex and the licensing code would need to be disentangled in an open-source version.
Regards,

Jon

Hello Jon,

Thanks for the update. I didn't realize how fond I've become of this thing until is was gone. Simple and efficient interface, very focused workflow. It came up in demo mode just now, good interim fix.

Regards,
Joel

Hi all,
We now have a new version of Nodal for Windows users to download. This should fix the previous licensing issues. Please let us know if you encounter any problems and thanks for your patience while we were working on the update.
Regards,

Jon
