Re: Starter Plan offer - China users
Somehow I doubt that the process will be so crude that (e.g. Livecode.com DNS resolution fails) all standalones built with the Starter Plan would stop working. I'd imagine that the check for validity would happen for several days/weeks before an app stopped working. It surely isn't in LC Ltd's interest to implement this in a crude fashion. My experience in Asia 20 years ago was that no-one paid for software. There were huge computing shopping malls where DVDs of pirated products from Microsoft, Adobe, etc. could be bought for $3 per DVD (often the same DVD would contain multiple applications that we'd be paying $1000s for).

Re: Starter Plan offer - China users
To be honest, if “always being able to launch standalone” is a concern for the developer, then they shouldn’t be using the Starter Plan. In my understanding the Starter Plan is a personal experience, it is available so that one can learn programming and use it to build their own tools. If someone wants to ship software, they should be using Standard Plan or above. > On 27 Sep 2021, at 19:54, Glen Bojsza via use-livecode > wrote: > > What happens if the user is on an airplane and wants to use the app? > > > On Mon, Sep 27, 2021 at 2:26 PM Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > >> The starter plan for LiveCode is described: >> >> "On the Starter plan, if you cancel your subscription your apps will also >> stop working.

When I do this type of licensing I allow n number of activations without phoning home to take this into account. I would hope the LC does the same.

Starter Plan offer - China users
The starter plan for LiveCode is described: "On the Starter plan, if you cancel your subscription your apps will also stop working. If you need to build apps that work forever, you need the Standard plan.” This seems to imply that Starter plan apps “phone home” to LiveCode when they open to check the status of the developer’s subscription. A heads up for anyone contemplating the use of this plan for app users in China—the Great Firewall is very blocking these days. If the “phone call” connection is required, the application may not open dependably. I have experience with Internet blocking issues in China. It’s an alternate online reality there… Peter Bogdanoff ___ 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
