Livecode Future

[Heriberto Torrado]

Hi Tom,

It appears that under this licensing model, developers creating 
applications for internal company use—such as for a workforce of 100 
employees—would still need to pay $15,520 even with the 30% discount 
applied. I hope I've misunderstood, but upon receiving the email about 
Livecode Create, I considered purchasing a license to permanently move 
away from the outdated "Community" version (we have a lot of silicon 
Macs). However, if I have to explain to my boss that each internal user 
of the Livecode-built app would cost $155.2, she would likely suggest 
investing that money in a Flutter course, Lazarus IDE or to develop a 
web site.
