Open Source LiveCode Project

[David C.]

Thank you very much for the prompt reply, Kevin,
...however, I'm not quite sure that the FAQ addresses my concern, or
at least it still seems a bit unclear.

>From the FAQ:
"We will continue to honor your existing license terms until its
expiry date. Once it expires you will be invited to renew with one of
the new license types. You will also have the option to use the
community edition if it fulfills your specific needs."

The term "invited to renew" is far too vague to be comfortable in my
view, so from the standpoint of a "perpetual" license, please explain
at what point the license actually expires to the point that it can no
longer be used commercially?  The latest license I have is for version
4.53, so will I be able to continue using that commercially or not and
if so, for how long?

Regards,
David C.
