That doesn't help me to understand what you want to achieve... How many systems do you own and for what purpose?

Ho, I have 3 computers, 2 servers and a desktop. The 2 servers are acting as NAS and personal lab for personal training, those are the two that uses the Prometheus Adapter to export the hwinfo data to a format that can be read by grafana to graf and alerts if temperature of drive / CPU rise too high for example.That doesn't help me to understand what you want to achieve...

Not sure what the issue is with aquasuite since you can access aquacomputer's sensors via aquasuite
So while Aqua Computer enjoyed the benefit of a making use of software available totally free, they didn't even bother to at least provide a few lines of information.
the information so we could show monitoring data for their devices
The usage is having the computer on for 12 hours. Quite the easy thing to do in these Covid-19 times. Up the shared memory support to 17 hours and I don't see me hitting the limit.What is you HWiNFO usage scenario that requires more than 12hours of shared memory support to be enabled?

My point is that a simple home user can be satisfied with the free version in spite of the limitations. If someone is at home, then can re-enable SHM after the 12h. Now days you can access your home system even remotely. So I dont understand the complaints about it.The usage is having the computer on for 12 hours.

My point is that it's not satisfying to have software essentially break from a usability standpoint. Normal, non-pro users don't know what Shared Memory support is and will not know why this free plugin will suddenly stop working at some point - and why should they, this simple use case is not within what most people will consider pro usage. There's no information provided in any way a novice user will understand as to why it stops working. Having a resettable usability time bomb targeted at simple home users using the software within what arguably should require a non-Pro license just seems like asking for trouble down the road.My point is that a simple home user can be satisfied with the free version in spite of the limitations.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be a PRO version that costs money. I'm saying the use case of users using a free open source stream deck plugin just fetching and displaying basic CPU/GPU/motherboard usage/temperatures on what is essentially a tiny extra screen don't seem like the intended demographic for the Pro version. I think it's fine you want to get paid for commercial use and more hardcore pro tools that are not simply displaying values on a screen.BTW, even this forum is based on a subscription fee.
Yes, I could use free alternatives and I also did.. I started with phpBB (free), but wasn't satisfied. So I switched to MyBB (also free), which was great several years ago. But then they struggled with updates and the next big (mobile-friendly) update was delayed and delayed.. I didn't blame anyone, it was free and they did what they could. So I ended up with XF (paid), which is great and massively updated. I have no problem to pay a subscription fee for products that are well maintained.
I agree with you but the main issue with the shared memory, if I get it right, it's that it's there for anyonoe to use there is no way to make a whitelist or select who can access it... unfurtunatlyIn any case, I've humbly made my suggestion to make HWiNFO work better with the free HWinfo StreamDeck plugin + explained why I think it deserves to not be included in the 12-hour limit and that's all I can do. Thanks for your time.

The same thing goes for the "HWInfo Monitor" sidebar gadget, yes I still like my sidebars!FYI - It was never my intention to charge for such feature, it's a side-effect of a wider restriction imposed on commercial use (described in several other posts here).
I'm currently working with the Rainmeter team on how to continue providing this feature without limit and for free.
