Wait, you are saying that when the LC license expires you are no longer capable
of developing with it?? Is that true?
Maybe I'm being a bit thick, BUT:
1. I sometimes use my Mac Dreamcard from some 9 years ago - in fact I
have had it while 3 Macs
have "blown and burnt", and everytime reinstalled it with my Dreamcard
License number....
2. Are RunRev now using a new licensing system (that I have missed)
where it mysteriously stops
a version of LC working after a certain time?
I, for one, do NOT believe #2.
I have a feeling that someone or other has got a bit mixed up, confusing
the licence code for
a RR/LC distro (let's say 4.0) with a licence for further upgrades - the
2 are not the same.
I can go on using the versions of RR/LC I own [ 2.2.1 (linux), 2.6.1 (DC
Mac),
RevMedia (4 - all platforms), Studio (4 - all platforms) and so on]
forever. What I cannot do is upgrade any of them, having "disappeared
off RunRev's upgrade-screens" an awful long time ago.
If #2 IS true then I will start feeling very queasy indeed about ver
buying an LC upgrade.

Or, you could be like me and develop software with whatever version of
Livecode you already own and not feel that you have to be permanently
on the "upgrade escalator".
That is an option, however when one does eventually want to upgrade cause of a
feature then your stuck to have to pay every year otherwise LC itself bombs
out, that is, one's lic expires and then you have to purchase a new one every
year to continue developing. All i can hope for is when I do release my own
software I can make sufficient income from it to be able to afford it. Well, it
better, it's my retirement income. :)
