Ralph,
I did e-mail Heather. RunRev refuses to make trial copies available
continuously. RunRev expects me to buy RunRev 5.0 without being able to test it
first. Of course, they could decide differently, but they don't.

I've always found Rev very fair, even generous, on pricing, and when I've
contacted Heather on what my best option was she told me exactly what to buy
(or actually what not to buy!) to get best value in my circumstances. Its
one reason why I'm still with Livecode and recommend them. I am sure
Hi Peter,
Good for you. How does your story help me solve my problem or help Mike to
decide what to do (or even help OP answer his question ;-) ).

Did the omega bundle include updates?
Have you contacted RunRev about this? I'm paid up until 2015 but LC 5.0.0
wasn't showing up as a downloadable item, they fixed this within a couple of
hours of my contacting them.

Hence if. I hope Mike will tell what actually happened, after sorting it out

Hi Mike,
I agree. It would be nice to either know what to expect or get free updates for
a reasonable amount of time. RealStudio offers 3 months of updates for free.
That's reasonable and avoids unexpected surprises. Thus I didn't need to think
long before buying my RealStudio license.
When I

I have to admit that I have not paid much attention to this lately so I may

Licences do not expire - only the right to free updates. These, in turn, depend
on exactly what you bought, when and whether you specifically purchased an an
active renewal pack (or are living in the grace period from your original/last
order).
Any recent order will have the updates grace
I would talk to Heather at runrev directly to get your answer. To me, the
answer seems to be depends.

I'd like to re-iterate however, that we certainly never
promised a year of updates with the Omega bundle. The only
license type we sell that carries a year of updates is the
Complete license.
The Omegabundle included Pro 1 desktop and 1 mobile, which came to a $499
value (at the time). I
In all fairness, I attended the summer academy and earned quite a few

Funny thing is, of all the goodies offered in the omega bundle, I bought it for

It was all very straight forward and easy.

Hi Mike,
I think everybody got a good deal on the Gold edition, exactly because 5.0 was
around the corner. Pay for 4.6, then pay again for 5.0 or pay extra for free
updates. A very good deal always has a catch. Ultimately it doesn't matter
much whether you accept a special offer or pay for a

But the price of the omega bundle, together with earning

enticing. I gave in and spent the money. However, for my
troubles, I lost my main client due to the web deployment
module simply not working.
You can see why I am a bit jaded.

I'm curious as to what happens if you do this. If I opt to not get my
5.0 upgrade, then when 6.0 comes out decide I want it, do I have to pay the
6.0 upgrade fee AND the 5.0 upgrade fee? I would guess yes otherwise I'd be
getting the 5.0 fixes and enhancements for free.

Hi Pete,
You never know what future brings, but I believe you'd pay for a new license
instead of a renewal. If you wait yet another year, you'd still pay the same
price for 7.0, which means you get all 6.0 features for free, just like any new
customer.
In my case, I'd pay for 5.0 after having
...precisely why I renewed, because upgrade fees per component are not too
much compared with a new license. But, I have the dev program too, so far
worth the money, especially if you're doing mobile.
LC has a much more agressive release cycle these dats, with smaller
improvement coming faster in
To add to the below questions:
I paid for a year of updates, or
so I thought, when I bought the Omega Bundle much less than a year ago.
Yet, now I have to pay. As someone who has NO money and would like to
finish what I started, I was under the impression I was due for a bunch
more updates.
