Livecode Server, Future and licenses

Hi, Livecode cowboys,

Yesterday, when I was working with LiveCode Server (I really love it and 
use it to create scripts to manage Linux systems, websites, etc.), and I 
was wondering:

What is the future of LiveCode Server, given that LiveCode Classic has a 
planned end date? Will LiveCode Server continue to be developed?

1) What is the situation with LiveCode Server licenses? On the LiveCode 
website, I can't find an option to purchase just a single LiveCode 
Server license; the available options seem to bundle it with other 
products ("all or nothing"). Is purchasing it standalone still possible?

2) How do LiveCode Server licenses work in practice?

If I create a website using LiveCode Server, do the users who access the 
website also need to have a license?

If I stop paying for my LiveCode Server license subscription, will the 
website stop working?

Personally, I believe LiveCode Server is perhaps the best tool LiveCode 
has ever created. In my opinion, with a bit more marketing, LiveCode 
Server could convince many Python users to switch to LiveCode. But this 
is just my humble opinion.

Maybe those questions are for Heather.

Best,

Hery Torrado
