GAP Unveils Enhanced ByteInsight Tool and VB6 Migration Promo

In a significant update aimed at improving the experiences of developers dealing with legacy software, Growth Acceleration Partners (GAP) announced new features for their ByteInsight tool on April 22, 2025. The consulting and technology services firm revealed enhancements that would aid in analyzing older codebases and launched a promotional offer for its Visual Basic Upgrade Companion (VBUC) tool, tailored specifically for swift migrations from VB6. This unveiling coincides with GAP's participation in the .NET Conf Focus on Modernization event taking place from April 22 to 23.

Improvements to ByteInsight

1. Smart Framework Version Detection: One of the highlights of the updated ByteInsight tool is its ability to automatically detect framework versions present within the code. This feature alleviates the burden of manual compatibility assessments and aids in upgrade planning substantially.
2. Refined Clarion Code Analysis: For developers working with Clarion, a new generic scanner has been incorporated into ByteInsight. This upgrade delivers more precise file mapping and line counts, ensuring that legacy technology gets the attention it deserves.
3. Directory Path Exclusion: Users can now exclude specific directories, such as those containing binary or third-party library files, resulting in clearer reports and quicker scan results focused on the relevant segments of code.
4. User Interface Enhancements: Adjustments to the user experience have been made, providing smoother navigation and eliminating clutter by hiding unnecessary parts based on scan outcomes.

GAP encourages developers to download the updated version of ByteInsight, now available in 3.2.0, for free at their official website: ByteInsight Download.

Operation VB6 Freedom Promo

Alongside the ByteInsight update, Growth Acceleration Partners is also launching Operation VB6 Freedom, a limited-time promotion for their VBUC tool, running from April 21 to June 3, 2025. Highlights of this promotion include:

• - Expanded Free Trial: The trial version of VBUC is being upgraded to process 25,000 lines of code, up from the previous limit of 10,000, allowing developers to gain a more comprehensive insight into their code’s potential during evaluation.
• - Discount on Licenses: A special 20% discount is being offered on VBUC licenses for codebases of up to 100,000 lines. This reduces the cost from $0.15 to $0.12 per line of code during this promotional period.

Developers can access the extended trial for VBUC at VBUC Free Trial.
