Livecode Future

[Heriberto Torrado]

Hello,

I apologize for asking my questions again, but after carefully reading 
the previous email, I am still a bit confused.

My situation is as follows: I work as the IT Director at a company in 
New York. Among many other responsibilities, I have developed several 
apps for internal use by our employees. My question is straightforward: 
With the new licensing model, does each employee need to pay for a 
license? I am currently using the "Community" version, but it does not 
work on Apple Silicon devices. Therefore, I am considering purchasing a 
new license.

Thank you for your assistance.

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.
