Living in South Africa and our exchange rate being as it is would makes this product expensive to develop with. Two of the reasons that made me go for LiveCode was I liked the concept and its price structure.  Also at the moment I'm still in the learning curve and busy with developing an application which hopefully will be finished by the end of this year.  This could very will but a stop to that as I may have to look for an alternative.

Or, you could be like me and develop software with whatever version of 
Livecode you already own and not  feel that you have to be permanently 
on the "upgrade escalator".

While I own LC 4.5, I do most of my development with LC 2.2.1 as that 
version already contained all the capabilities I need for the EFL 
content software that is my 'bread and cheese'.

When (if ?) my major software stuff (developed with LC 4.5) makes a spot 
of money I shall think about
upgrading; until it does, there is absolutely no way I can even dream of it.

As far as I can see the only reasons to upgrade (anything) are:

1. A new version has more capabilities that are 100% essential to my work.

2. The OS I'm running will not cope with the earlier version I am running.

[Just back from visiting my Mum and Dad, where I always do a spot of 
work on an old tray-loading
G3 iMac running Mac OS 10.3.9; can cope with LC 4.0, and Fontforge (my 
other weapon of choice)]

3. A new version allows me to author software to run on a wider variety 
of platforms [certainly
true of LC 5.5 compared with LC 4.5] that I 100% need for my software 
[not at all in my case].

Many, many people have the feeling they have to upgrade endlessly. All 
this feeling results in
(at least for people living in Bulgaria and South Africa) is a financial 
crisis  . . .   LOL.

Euros) hooked up
to a 17 inch monitor I fished out of a dustbin, running Ubuntu 12.04.

I do most of my programming on this machine or a 7 year old MacMini PPC 
attached to a similar monitor that was given to me by a bookshop owner 
went they decided to "go flat".
