PrintList Pro is now included as a license option: only one plugin instead of two (no change of PrintList Pro code needed).

Standalone Printing: in addition to PrintList Pro or SuperReport Pro printing of an AreaList Pro area, a single new command just prints the area with all formatting.

Export to Excel (XLS or XLSX) including formatting, with or without header, selected rows or whole area, and many more options (including Sub-ALP).

Offscreen AreaList Pro areas: build an area and Print it or export to Excel without displaying it on screen, with a single command.

Apple Silicon (M1) support.

With the release of 4D v18, many developers will continue using their current environment while testing v18 and sometimes waiting for a future subversion.
Regular 4D professional tools licenses (single user & server) are linked to the 4D serial number, therefore you will need an additional license set for your v18 single user and/or server(s).
A 50% discount is available on this second set of licenses, provided that you already have a license for a previous version of 4D, for each v18 license to purchase.
Enter the code "v18" under the "Promotion code" field when ordering from our website.
