I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
On one hand i would prefer a pay once use for ever license model.
On the other i want a software tool which is maintained and upgraded
regularly, even if that means that i have to pay for it.
I remember discussions when the old “pay once use that version forever, but you
can pay for updates” license model were active.
The people were moaning that the tool they just had purchased some months or
weeks ago, was upgraded and the upgrade was not free.
I remember discussions about the price for the yearly upgrade fee of Revolution
standard and Enterprise.
Regarding the discussion about the possibility to deploy to iOS for
semi-professionals and hobbyists:
With the current situation how often xCode is upgraded and how often therefore
Livecode needs to be fixed to work again with that xCode version, i really do
not see any advantage for such a "pay once use forever” license without having
the opportunity to subscribe to a software maintenance plan.
But even with such an option to subscribe to such a plan, the discussion starts
over and over again as soon as an xCode version is released which is not
working with older “not upgraded” LC versions.
