Bob, that is exactly what the schools and university licenses are. Plus, the
apps developed with them the are non-expiring (which is probably a good thing
since many students will want to continue using their apps and not have them go
p and disappear). School is $25 a seat per year, and
Speaking of an educational license, perhaps consider, now that a lot of
learning is online, having the ability to "assign" a seat license an email and
password, so that someone could teach an online course, and distribute each
seat license to students for the duration of the class. Upon

HI Kee,
You do know the schools license gives you complete access to all 7 platforms
and permanent standalones for $25 a seat per year and the apps are non-expiring?

Here’s the calculations as it stands for the new Standard Plan.
1 platform = $300
2 platforms = $500 ($200 more)

5 platforms = $1500 ($500 more [mind blown])

I can understand why there are users who feel betrayed by the company
especially with the new
pricing structure, and the discontinuance of support for the Community
version which was even
paid for in a marketing campaign in advance of it’s release.

Rick has brought to mind an interesting point about the new pricing model. It’s
one that I think of occasionally. Currently and in the new model we pay for
each deployment. But it’s a bit odd. Surely what we should be paying for is the
Core engine and then smaller amounts for each deployment
I like the idea of a free version that does not compile into an app. Lets
schools teach LiveCode and lets people learn it before deciding to buy it.
My two cents

Hi Dan,
Yes, there were a lot of us who specifically contributed to make the Community
version possible
as open source. One of the justifications was that if the company went under
we would still have
the Community version available to us. The promise that the company would also
support it
I think I’ll head over there and. See if there is any will to maintain an
aspect of the language as open source - I think there are a couple of options:
1. The server
2. The language with a focus on was and web
I would think that with these components open, this is in no way incompatible
with
We are of course incredibly grateful for the contributions we have received,
all of which were spent on the project over many years. However I would note
that 90%+ of all crowd funding campaign support came from license holders, the
majority in the form of future license purchases. Commercial
The vast majority of those who contributed to the Kickstarter were rewarded
with something other than the free product.

Kevin did say yesterday that "if we promised something in the past we do honour
it” and back when I started my Indy sub I was told that my subscription will
'remain at the same cost for as long as I keep it active' –
FWIW over on the forums the sentiment seems to be mostly hostile to these
changes. Many are talking of collecting and hosting past "community"
installers to get around these changes by LC Ltd, others talking of jumping
ship. Over there the attitude is "the sky is falling". I can only assume

Extending on something Bernd said, I would hope the gang will consider is
keeping portions that are built upon the engine OSS, even with a
restrictive commercial license.
Something else for all of us to remember, when LC went OSS, there was a
reason, and at least part of that was financial.

I can't say this surprises me. I didn't expect the open source offering to
do anything but cut into the bottom line. But certainty isn't achieved
until something is tried and actual results obtained. One of the good
things about having the code source was that there have been times when

i am not sure, if everyone is aware of it, but standalones that were created
with the Starter Plan license will expire as soon as the Startert Plan

Thanks Curry. You are absolutely right, everything I said was about the starter

With that correction: “I am surprised there is no annual option on the starter
