LC Bug Survey Metasurvey - Ranking Criteria

[Heather Laine]

Lagi,

If you would like to purchase an Escrow license from us, please contact support, support at livecode.com <mailto:support at livecode.com>. We do offer them, they are not cheap.

This is not on topic for this thread. It is also a licensing question and not something the list can usefully comment on. The name of this list is "how to use LiveCode".

Regards,

Heather
