Livecode Future

[Heriberto Torrado]

Hi Bob,

Thank you very much for clarifying my question. Based on your response, 
it's clear that LiveCode is not suitable for our needs.

In my current role at the new company, I've developed several small 
applications using LiveCode for internal use: a client onboarding form, 
a workflow management app for our printers, and a folder encryption 
tool. These are small utilities, and it wouldn't be feasible for each 
user to pay $150 per app, resulting in $450 per employee.

I previously purchased the Indy license and intended to buy a similar 
one now. However, it seems I will need to find another solution.

As you mentioned, the Mobile development license is not relevant for us 
since I only develop desktop applications.

Additionally, our strict security measures mean our firewalls won't 
allow LiveCode applications to communicate externally.

After 15 years of working with LiveCode, I've learned that relying on 
programming languages  without a big community and free licensing can 
lead to significant risks and potential loss of knowledge.

Best regards,
Heriberto

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.
