[SOLVED] LiveCode no longer has a free option?

Post by FiNN-6001 » Sun Sep 26, 2021 6:36 pm

Hi everyone, I got a new computer a few months ago and as I was very busy I didn't install LiveCode on this computer. Today, I decided it's time to refresh my LC skills and now I can't seem to find a free option. Now I get that LC (the company) didn't do too well during Covid so they may be using this as a way to make up some losses, but I just wanna make sure I didn't miss a menu or something with the community (I think that's what it was called) version. (I am a HS student that only uses LC as a hobby every so often so paying for a subscription isn't an option for me).


have a nice day :) and thanks for answering

No. This was set up a week or so ago. Livecode Ltd. deleted all previous downloads of the Community Editions when they changed the licensing model.

Please be aware, that these new download are only temporarily. Livecode Ltd. will delete these in near future, at least that is what Kevin wrote in an announcement.

Ok, thanks for letting me know! Hopefully I'll still be able to use LC but I guess if they have made a change there's not much we can do about it :/.

The downloaded versions will not stop working. Livecode Ltd. will just delete the files for download. So if you keep your installer you'll should be fine.
