OK, I did that.  You must be referring to Products --> Create it with 
LiveCode Trial.

[1] That takes me here: 
https://livecode.com/courses/create-it-with-livecode-course/ Where I see 
2 buttons. (Enroll Now | $59) and (Start Trial).

[2] If I click on (Enroll Now) I go here: 
https://www.cleverbridge.com/1288/surl-GWVb1g9whO. I see a shopping cart 
to purchase an Indy license, nothing about the $59 app building course.

[3] There is a (Continue Shopping) button there. I clicked on it 
thinking it may lead to the app building course but it lead here: 
http://livecode.com/

Unless I messed up somehow this is not going to lead to many app course 
sales. I tried it with both PaleMoon (a Firefox fork) and Chrome on Ubuntu.

Now a question about the course.  I clicked on the trial and stepped 
through it a bit.  I see it is based on the BYU course. A while ago I 
looked at the BYU course and was told that it wasn't suitable for Linux 
users at this time, apparently because it was graphics intensive.

Right now I am interested in learning Livecode on the desktop only, 
mobile may come later.  Looking at the list of lessons on the right I 
don't see anything that jumps out at me as being very graphics 
intensive. So is this version less graphics intensive?

If I could work my way through most of the desktop centered lesions 
using Linux the price is certainly right.

Regards,  Jim
