Livecode Future

[Kevin Miller]

Changing licensing terms is not unique to us. One average successful software companies change pricing 3-4 times per year. I'm not sure that all other companies that change licensing have their CEO involved talking to customers either.


And remember, we haven't changed the licensing for the existing platform which you can continue to use on the same terms up until its end of life in 2027. The new licensing is for the new platform.


Kind regards,

Bob, Thank you very much for your suggestion, but I have decided not to 
continue working with LiveCode. The constant changes in licensing pose a 
professional risk I cannot afford.


I had a similar experience several years ago with Winautomation (now 
Microsoft Power Automate). They began charging for each automation 
developed with their app, and the license costs increased dramatically 
overnight. This forced me to stop using their software, and I am keen to 
avoid such unpleasant surprises in the future.


As I primarily develop small desktop utilities, alternatives like 
Lazarus, Flutter, Electron, NW.js, or NeutralinoJS are more suitable for 
my needs.


Best regards,
Heriberto
