Hi Ralph, It looks to me that they did it this way because there isn’t any automatic way to check for a valid license the same way as the paid version of LiveCode works. As you say, the commercial version of LC server lacks the GUI which would make that auto-validation step possible.
A list of the differences between the community version and the commercial version would be useful so users can see what if anything they are missing by not having the paid version of LC. (It might be an incentive for those who do not yet have a paid version.) I have to download my new commercial version and install it.
