About this I can say it is really true.
I am supporting LiveCode from 2012 and never had the time to program a single word in it... but I loved the filosophy. I only did a review for Packt Publishing. There is hope!!!
Blame me not to write any code till yet ;-) but the people behind LiveCode are honest, great, intelligent and always willing to help you out. So hive it a try and just call the HQ, Heather or Kelvin will sort it out if u hv license or financial problems to obtain a new license offer.
Nice weekend to you all.

Met vriendelijke groet / kind regards
Erik Beugelaar

This situation is the kind of thing that Kevin encourages you to contact
support about. He's said he doesn't want to lose anyone.

It's true that open source has made things difficult for the company, but
they also value the folks who have stood by them all this time. Please do
write to Heather.
