Making Sense of Licenses

[Admin]

Heather, 

Oh. In every other program I have purchased, including
software IDEs, it is almost always common to get a year (or more) of
updates, so it was kind of assumed. For some reason, I thought I
upgraded to complete, but you are right about me upgrading to Gold. I
checked my purchases. Truth be told, I have not had Live Code that long
and had no idea 5 was 'around the corner' considering how much I plunked
down (although it was still a good deal). I would have waited if I knew
that. I wish there was a product version cycle countdown timer or
something. I mean, you went from 4.6 to 5. What happened to 4.7, 4.8 and
4.9???? (lol).

year of updates, or so I thought, when I bought the Omega Bundle much
less than a year ago. Yet, now I have to pay. As someone who has NO
money and would like to finish what I started, I was under the
impression I was due for a bunch more updates. To somewhat answer the
below questions: I understand that I have 4.6 and anything I make with
that, and deploy using, will still work, but with all the bugs in the
4.x versions/deployment options and the promise of added features and
bug fixes in 5.0, I feel truly slighted. To make matters worse, I
upgraded to complete and only a couple of months later, now I have to
pay for all updates. (namely, you don't have to update and spend money
unless you want the 5.0 features. However, since things were left
unfinished, it seems like you HAVE TO pay for the update just to get
what you paid for the version before - and even that is not guaranteed).
That is the main reason I am so upset. I wish Runrev would man up and
not promise a year of updates and a few months later renig. Mike On Wed,
