Dear,
This is because the software calculates Pesach as the first full moon following the spring equinox, so there is no veadar this year according to the strict lunar ephemeris, whether in solar or lunar omer for days (sod hah'ibur is not yet implemented and will not be implemented by me for a long time, if one day I have the time and knowledge).
This method of calculation is based:
On Vayiqra 23.5 Literal: "When the new moon, the first [of the year], when the fourteenth [part (day {the Hebrew month is lunar})] of [this] new moon, between the twilights (sets of the moon), he (the Lamb) passed over [Mitzraim] to HaShem".
On astronomy and seasons: the spring is the start of the year, the beginning of germination most of the time, the leaves that hatch, the life that is reborn after the rest of winter... thus it is the same for the Torah which harmonizes us with the cycles of nature, the seasons, the sun (shabat), the moon (nidah), and which improves our behavior by reducing ignorance and wrong things and actions, for example.
Best regards.
PS: I forgot to say that in any case, if Pesach is one month later or sooner between the orthodox calendar or hebrew calendar, it's Pesach Sheni, thus it's kasher for the Torah of HaShem and I have verified over more than a century that Pesach is never incorrect according to the software.
In 2024, the year has two Adar, but the calender for some reason only uses one Adar. From the Software: From Wikipedia:
