LC Built Apps held Hostage, Runtime execution rent - looked at FAQ

[Riko Abadi]

The only way to mess with the license check is by doing reverse
engineering. I saw that LiveCode code is only interpreted, not compiled,
and is easy to manipulate. I tried to bypass the license of a standalone
built with LiveCode Create, and succeeded. There is no “phone call home”
for license verification. Even software at the level of Adobe can always be
bypassed. There are still many other programming languages—this is the time
for you to rewrite your program away from LiveCode.
