Individual licensing questions

[Håkan Liljegren]

Hmm, wouldn’t this count in the other tier as you sell your app, thus you should pay 5% of $75? $3.75

The apps are personal and no one else uses them. Every 2 or 3 years they contact me because the app stops working, usually due to an incompatible OS update. I recompile the app, and sometimes make a few requested tweaks. Since a compile takes only a few minutes, and because I know these people personally, I charge almost nothing for these services. My last invoice for a rebuild and a minor change was $75.

And because they are not companies and many are now retired, paying hundreds of dollars to maintain an address book is not feasible. I am very sensitive to their budget requirements.

>> Folks, I'm happy to go on discussing the licensing model in general on here as needed, for example edge cases or things that aren’t clear in the model, as it helps us to hone it. But at this point if you have individual questions about the costs for you under the new model, please email them to support and we can give you an accurate quote and talk you through your options. Otherwise we are going to be going over the same territory here on the list for some time to come! We’ll build out the information pages some more worked examples next week too. Thanks.
