Rant on my favourite topics : LC server with a side-dish of on-rev :-)

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Ralph,

It looks to me that they did it this way
because there isn’t any automatic
way to check for a valid license
the same way as the paid version
of LiveCode works. As you say, the
commercial version of LC server 
lacks the GUI which would make
that auto-validation step possible.

A list of the differences between
the community version and the
commercial version would be
useful so users can see what if
anything they are missing by not
having the paid version of LC.
(It might be an incentive for those
who do not yet have a paid version.)

I have to download my new commercial
version and install it.

Thanks,

Rick

Apparently now there is a separate tab just for server which has a password attached.  Why this appears to be the exception to the rule of getting everything from the downloads page is anyone’s guess.
