Livecode Future

[William Prothero]

Kevin,
Just checking.. I am a hobbyist, no income is made on my apps. But if I want to make an app that my wife or friend might use, I need to add seats for them?

I have 3 “seats” at present including myself, all are internal users to the company I work for, but the company does not pay me to do this development. I wrote the application to make generating forms easier for the IT technicians in the field.

We can build and distribute our non-íncome-producing apps by getting a single developer seat ($449 per year); not a trivial amount but not much for a hobby (less than membership at my local golf club or gym, even before I think about buying clubs or trainers or replacing all the lost golf balls). The expiration of the lifetime license will be compensated for by a discount at the first license renewal (in December 2025??), though we don’t yet know how that will be calculated.
