which is merely repeating the thread's whole point - Meet the LiveCode EULA and FAQ! Read and learn. quoting EULA and FAQ again, with links again, as before ... Kill switch details; it's even worse than I remembered. "Apps require active [LiveCode Create] licensing to run. If your license lapses, your apps will no longer be licensed and they will not continue to run." Meet the LiveCode FAQ - https://livecode.com/faq Built Apps - not 'continue' to run? Riko Abadi: > This means already-built apps are permanently dependent on ongoing > license renewal just to execute... Under the current terms, LiveCode > Create is not a viable option for serious, long-lived applications. Rick: > I sure hope the people at LC seriously reconsider what they are > doing immediately and change course! Just my 2 cents for the day. > P.S. Here’s the link for those who haven’t seen it: > https://livecode.com/faq Runtime execution rent, ongoing = fragile Toy Apps. subject to renewal, whim, outage, billing, or glitch. much more so than just using hosting or data. Alex Shaw: > Does this mean apps created in Classic Create > also stop working if the license is not renewed? > As a hobby programmer from the MC days this is very disappointing. good question. likewise for LC10. Create license allows Classic Kill switch - "2.3 ... Any purchase of LiveCode Create automatically applies this EULA to ... LiveCode Classic." but is Kill switch tech lurking in Classic? strong monthly version precedent in Classic license - "2g) Where the LiveCode Software has been purchased on a monthly subscription, Created Software will only operate while the subscription is current." Craig Newman: > I cannot fathom the idea that one can build an app, > using a program that one has a subscription to ... and then be > REQURED to maintain the subscription in order for that app to run. precisely. Meet the LiveCode Create EULA - https://livecode.com/eula an evaluation said "you should NOT accept this as-is" - I agree; impossible until several issues improved. Dev tool licenses are required to build, compile, or deploy. Lapsed licenses typically Disable updates, new builds, support ... but Existing, already-built apps keep running. That’s why they are 'built' apps! huge step backward - I will not follow that wayward direction; my future plans include robust apps and clear ethics. Nor let future projects get locked down to 1 tool. Nor be slandered as unruly for pointing out obvious problems! window is closing to fix LiveCode pricing/terms issues. LiveCode Classic - '2027' end of life. people have been retooling elsewhere. LiveCode recently requested my feedback to help improve LC. so ... hope this requested advice improves LiveCode Create. Happy Holy-days of Christ's Mass!
