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,
