Oh, and just one other thing I've picked up on. If you have any 3rd party
tools or pluggins that contain protected code, then these will NOT load
into LC Community and it just doesn't run.

I would think most Commercial license holders would have a bunch of
pluggins to make stack development quicker and easier. Why would you want
to work in an enviornment that currently excludes the use of these?

So LC Commercial is LC Communiy + the ability to password protect stacks +
the ability to use password protected plugins.
