Hi Heriberto, I find myself in a very similar situation with 180+ employees the new licensing modal is not suitable for the MSE space, at least, not for our specific needs. Such a shame that after 10 years of working with LC and being along for the ride as the product *nearly* matures I too will have to leave the LC community and seek alternatives…

Based on your response, it's clear that LiveCode is not suitable for our needs. In my current role at the new company, I've developed several small applications using LiveCode for internal use: a client onboarding form, a workflow management app for our printers, and a folder encryption tool. These are small utilities, and it wouldn't be feasible for each user to pay $150 per app, resulting in $450 per employee. I previously purchased the Indy license and intended to buy a similar one now. However, it seems I will need to find another solution. As you mentioned, the Mobile development license is not relevant for us since I only develop desktop applications. Additionally, our strict security measures mean our firewalls won't allow LiveCode applications to communicate externally. After 15 years of working with LiveCode, I've learned that relying on programming languages without a big community and free licensing can lead to significant risks and potential loss of knowledge.
