No, there are not two different views - mine was not a view, it was a 
statement of fact which corrected Peter (who may not have realized you 
were talking about an old-style perpetual license).

Both your questions are clearly answered in the license agreement:

Section 1.d states:

1d) The Licensed Edition may be used exclusively by You on a reasonable 
number of machines and platforms You may have for Your own exclusive use 
and may not be transferred to, or loaned to, or used by another entity 
at any time or for any purpose.

(This is also clearly answered in the question 'Can I install LiveCode 
on more than one computer?' on the page 
https://livecode.com/products/livecode-platform/pricing/ which you 
referenced yourself).

Section 1.e states:

e) If the Licensed Edition has been purchased on a subscription basis it 
may only be used while your subscription is current. During the 
subscription term we will provide updates to the Licensed Edition free 
of charge. At the end of the term access to the Licensed Edition will 
cease unless You renew Your subscription. If he Licensed Edition has 
been purchased on a perpetual license basis then the version(s) for 
which You purchased a perpetual license may continue to be used past the 
end of any subscription term.

As your current (perpetual-style) license expires in August 2016, you 
have access to a perpetual version of all versions released (whether 
they be gm, rc or dp) up until that date.

I can only assume your sudden concern about your license and 
entitlements is related to your recent installation and licensing 
issues. However, I can assure you that they are entirely unrelated. We 
are still investigating a couple of issues in this area, but have yet 
got enough data to be able to determine what the problem might be.

Mark.
