Hi Peter,

Thanks for this. I'm going to send this on to support if that’s ok, so Heather 
can help you with your specific subscription options.

Kind regards, 

Kevin

Hi Kevin


Hi Heather. 
I have been on LiveCode Indy - Price Lock and I want to cross over to the new 
Create Platform. Furthermore, my subscription is up for renewal in 6 Days. 


1. Should I cancel my subscription via cleverbridge.com?
2. Does the “Per app user” in “app developer / per month billed annually” mean 
that for each app developed and used by a client? 
My apologies, (English is not my first language).
3. Is there a monthly billing cycle option?
4. If so can I start the new billing cycle on the first of August due on the 
first of each month?




Best regards,
Peter

Thanks Keith. I’ll see if we can tweak the FAQ slightly. (Copying the list here 
as I accidentally replied to you off list.)






Kind regards,






Kevin

Amazing. Thank you for the clarifications, they are quite reassuring. I look 
forward to adding my 2 pence worth of input on the branded styling and 
positioning. :)






Perhaps the FAQ answer re free apps and resources could be clarified slightly? 
I was concerned that it might be related to what appears to be a phone home 
mechanism (which itself is a mild concern – I removed a simple update check 
process in my metadata-adding app because I got pushback about it – although I 
get the reasons).

Hi Keith,






Thanks for this.






We’re happy to receive input in the styling and positioning of the badge. It 
can be something small in the corner that doesn’t downgrade the look of your 
app. We will consult you on this as we get closer to the time. Lots of other 
platforms do tastefully attribute themselves in similar circumstances. I’m sure 
we can work together to get this right.






In terms of resources, we are talking about the use of our Cloud hosting for 
you app, Cloud server actions (obviously not any client side ones) and data 
use. It’s highly unlikely that the app you describe is going to make a 
meaningful impact on resource usage. If it does, we’ll be selling additional 
Cloud resources at cost or near to cost. Or you can just go on hosting the apps 
yourself in which case you won’t be using our resources at all.






Kind regards,






Kevin

I'm interested in the direction things are going, but I am specifically 
concerned about the FAQ answer relating to free apps: 






"Free apps will display a LiveCode Create badge throughout the app, and will 
have “Made with LiveCode – Non Commercial Use Only” notices you are not 
permitted to disable."






I see how you're choosing to 'square the circle' here, but to me this feels 
like forcing my free apps (which is what I make, period) to declare themselves 
as second-class app citizens. And there's the question of how those badges will 
be shown; I can only imagine that's going to impact any carefully crafted UI.






The Fair Use Limits FAQ answer is also a tad alarming and raises rather more 
questions than it answers!






"Free apps will have a lower threshold of fair use limits for resource usage"






What resource use is this? My most popular utility inserts metadata into 
360-degree images. It's free, a tool for the 360 photography community. It 
doesn't use any external resources, which is specifically how I designed it. 
Does this mean I can relax?






I don't begrudge LiveCode the company for coming up with new ways to make 
money; after all, ongoing development of LiveCode the software is vital. But my 
software output is 100% free and basically 'pro bono' and I pay for my LC 
license from my own pocket in order to keep doing this. I'm worried that the 
coming changes will, although not by conscious design, effectively make my apps 
look 'cheap as in cheesy,' and also squeeze me out of the dev community.
