I've stated this several times and it seems it may be useful to repeat. We are doing deals with existing customers in good standing and we have successfully moved almost everyone who has been in touch. Classic is an expensive technology to maintain requiring specialist skills. Notwithstanding that, we are open to finding a path forward that works for long standing customers. We are running a campaign right now to convert those of you who still remain on the old licensing and we can figure out a way forward together, so this is a good time. Please contact us directly. This list is not for licensing discussions.

Kind regards,

Kevin

LiveCode: Build Software You’ll Never Outgrow

Your experience parallels mine. Over the last year I've been exporting data 
for a few customers so they could import into other platforms. None of them 
could pay the monthly fee to continue with their current custom stacks. One 
client used Claude to write a custom web app and import his data. I was 
impressed, I watched him do it over a zoom call.


Like you, my life has changed and I'm technically retired. I do miss the 
old days though. We were an amazing and vibrant community.
