BETA RELEASE: LiveCode 6.1.0 RC3

[Roger Eller]

Ben,

When 6.1.0 goes GM, is the commercial version still going to be AMW
(annoy-me-ware) like 6.0.2?  What I mean is that a final released "paid"
product shouldn't be telling me to go on-line and get a fresh license file
every few weeks, IMHO.  6.0.2 is telling me that I will need a new license
in 6 days. None of the commercial versions prior have done this.
