Have you considered using In-App Purchases to sell additional "user licenses"? That way there is no hard limit on users, but you can still meet your requirement of licensing each user and can accommodate the teacher that uses a single device for more than six students.
Personally I do not know if your scenario is realistic or not, but if someone pressed me to guess I would assume it is not, therefore not something to worry about. Any teacher considering using iOS software to teach is probably going to have to consider the logistics of how to allocate time with students using a limited number of devices. You give the example of 30 students and a single device. I don't see how any single student could effectively use your software (whatever it is) under those conditions. -- Regards, Dale Hurtt SPEC IT LLC [email protected] This isn?t directly LiveCode-related, but I?m looking to get some opinions > on this from anyone who?s willing to share. > > I?m in the middle of working on a new app for my company.
