To be honest, if “always being able to launch standalone” is a concern for the developer, then they shouldn’t be using the Starter Plan.

If someone wants to ship software, they should be using Standard Plan or above. > On 27 Sep 2021, at 19:54, Glen Bojsza via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > What happens if the user is on an airplane and wants to use the app? > > > On Mon, Sep 27, 2021 at 2:26 PM Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > >> The starter plan for LiveCode is described: >> >> "On the Starter plan, if you cancel your subscription your apps will also >> stop working.
