Skip: > Wow… just catching up on this thread ... more confused than ever!
Yes; big licensing changes, huge threads with generic subject lines. Quick Recap with quotes from Buy and FAQ: - 2 main licensing models: 'Internal Users' and 'Apps for Sale.' - Apps for Sale: developer seat(s) + '5% of Application Payments.' - (5% is not too painful/threatening, so those folks are not alarmed.) - But 'Internal Users' are hit harder! THAT is why people are upset... - 'Users includes app developers at the same cost as end users.' - Pretty radical and painful, setting off a fire without warning! - Now 'Volume discounts apply for 12 users or more' but still pricey. - LC seemed to downplay folks' concerns as edge cases and retro... - Obviously not; CEOs and IT managers, big and small firms, hobbyists. - (We have so much GENIUS and industry in this community!) Skip: > I hope this all works out in the short term (and long term!) Exactly my thoughts! As a consultant/nice guy, I look out for EVERYONE: Big or small, app sales/internal, low code or code lover, new or old. They all matter; I don't want anyone (including LC) derailed by license. So let's find a fair, realistic solution for the 'Internal Users' folks! I disagree with conflating developers at the same cost as end users. Pay full price for developer seats... But address whatever (XYZ$) costs an arm/leg per end user! I assume that would be data hosting. And extra customer support? (Hopefully NOT subsidizing other LC licensing models.) So ... offer a BIG end-user discount for opting out of XYZ$. :) (I'm recuperating from a big, long round of Long COVID - Still tiring to type - but obviously an urgent situation for some, so I speak up to encourage a good solution for all LC developers.)
