or vice versa -

if the developer lives and the subscription is continued
but LiveCode closes up, or is sold, do the apps stop working?

with a kill switch, such an concept is very possible.

Meet the LiveCode FAQ -

"Apps require active [LiveCode Create] licensing to run.
If your license lapses, your apps will no longer be licensed
and they will not continue to run."

"apps... periodically look for a connection to check their licensing."

Best wishes,
