While a pay-as-you-go subscription model may work for some sofware-as-a-service platforms, it most definitely does *not* work for development apps. I would never as a hobbyist, as a professional developer, or as a company, invest in a development platform that: a) needed to connect to a license validation server over an internet connection in order to start up b) ceased working if I stopped subscribing to updates c) ceased working if something happened to the issuing company d) required me to be online to get any work done e) required a licensing server to be online and its database accessible and up-to-date in order to function It seems that the new pricing structure is designed for three things: 1. to punish developers who don't keep updating every year regular as clockwork 2. to remove the single-platform products 3. to provide entry barriers to developers new to the platform It's been four days now since Kevin promised to make this "clearer". -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
