Well in practical terms if you don't know about it it's even harder for us to know. These sorts of things do happen but only occasionally so I don't spend too much time worrying about it. Obviously a sensible conversation would need to be had if it was discovered, most of which we would expect t

One feature of the present commercial licensing is that I decide the terms and conditions that apply to any application I build. What happens under the new licensing if I build an application either for sale or for a client and then some time in the future the application is duplicated, distri

I'm sorry to hear this. You'll still gain access to anything that remains to be delivered from crowd funding. I do want to dig into the economics of this a little more though. At a quantity of 180 users, PowerApps costs roughly 33% more per seat than we do! LiveCode, even *without* the (up to 1

Hi Kevin, is there a public post regarding the new model - I’d like to view it for a forthcoming project. Also you might want to fix the 404 you get while trying to read the most recent post on the site? On Wed, 24 Jul 2024 at 09:01, Kevin Miller via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> w

Totally agree and find myself in the same position with 180+/- internal workers, we only use LC for rapid prototyping although we do have some utilities that were built with LC. I guess I’m going to be forced down the PowerApps route. Slightly annoyed that i’ve subscribed and been part of all
