Let’s get this conundrum worked out: 1. If I have Mac or Windows machine 2. If I download “Livecode 9.6.4 Standard ” 3. And I pay $300.00 for an annual license 4. I can build for Desktop for Windows, Linux, iOS iPhone, Android 5. Minus Premium features 6. For one year + plus the upgrades that occur in that year. 7 Now,
1. I have a Mac or Windows machine 2. If I buy $9.90 per month 3. If I can *still* download “Livecode 9.6.4 Standard ” 4. I can build for Desktop for Windows, Linux, iOS iPhone, Android 5. But, I will forgo any upgrades that occur in that year. 6. If I built, in one month time, a standalone the works iOS iPhone and Android. It will be good for Apple and Google 7. But I stop subscription that means, the standalone stops working What is complicated about that? OR can we clarify? The HTML “thingy” is not addressed. So I have a “permanent, Business License, all features included,” but I want to buy a license for co-workers that live, for example, in California. $300.00 is cheap.

We must avoid repeating the same history: 1. Added work for LC Ltd without compensation* 2. Buggy struggling main product due to #1 3. Overcomplicating things 4.

Cutting out the free Community version is a smart move. $10/mo hobby is pretty darn cheap. Everyone can afford that. (Some end-clients want OSS, but only half of those know why. The other half are only repeating something they heard.) A demo is beneficial, and calendar-time-limited demos suck. Thus, unlimited-calendar-time demo could be the way to go. 10-line scripts suck too. Non-standalone might be the way. But as Alex said: > You can make it easy (or even trivial) for anyone > to install and run the stacks you create. Yep. Even easier than your example; no plugin necessary. A shortcut to your stack, and it launches the IDE. Not that much different from a full desktop app. I could make it near enough to please most users. Then we're still encouraging nonpayment for LC. So we need an additional limitation.
