Oh. In every other program I have purchased, including
software IDEs, it is almost always common to get a year (or more) of
updates, so it was kind of assumed. For some reason, I thought I
upgraded to complete, but you are right about me upgrading to Gold. I
checked my purchases. Truth be told, I have not had Live Code that long
and had no idea 5 was 'around the corner' considering how much I plunked
down (although it was still a good deal). I would have waited if I knew
that. I wish there was a product version cycle countdown timer or
something. I mean, you went from 4.6 to 5. What happened to 4.7, 4.8 and
4.9???? (lol).
Why not just skip a version or two?
If you wait a year before upgrading you'll get a year's worth of
enhancements.
I love using LiveCode, but ALL software I purchase here is evaluated in
terms of how well it does the work I need to do today.
I stopped automatically upgrading software many years ago, from all
vendors, including Apple, Adobe, and even RunRev.
I do generally stay current with LiveCode, but over the years I've
skipped a version or two if it didn't solve a problem I couldn't solve
with what I already had.
No harm, no foul. Buy what you need and you'll always have what you
need. Buy only what you need and you can enjoy a longer vacation. :)
