Re: Livecode.com server down

There is NO reason at all for there not to be a backup activation server with a downloads directory to boot - cost is not prohibitive $8 a month or so on HostM or $5 a month on digital ocean if a Virtual Server is needed. Lagi On 15 February 2018 at 07:57, Dave Kilroy via use-livecode <

Livecode.com server down

Hi all, Just tried activating the latest version of LC but the server is apparently down. Needed to urgently create an iOS standalone for XCode 9.2 but stopped in my tracks. The downloads page and the whole livecode.com site is not responding. Sigh. Now need to explain this to my client. Sean
