All Deployment Options Grayed Out In Settings

Post by johnmiller1950 » Fri Jan 10, 2025 3:23 am

Greetings All,

I have used LiveCode for years, but I haven't deployed to any platform for the past 4 years. I want to deploy to a Mac, but all of the deployment options are grayed out in the settings. This must be something obvious that I am forgetting and missing.

When you say "deploy" do you mean making a standalone?

The "obvious" question is what version and licensing for it do you have? How things might have been impacted following changes in the licensing model over the course of "some time" is perhaps less obvious.
Otherwise it might be to do with the platform you're compiling on, and compatibility with whichever version of X code you might have, as that has changed a lot over time.
Otherwise any more details about your environment?

Hi, yes Craig, when I say deploy, I mean make a standalone app.

I have LiveCode Professional w/7 deployment platforms. The last time I compiled anything, I was using version 6.0.3 because later versions changed something that screwed up the program that I was working on for a customer. I have since retired and usually just code for pleasure and for things at my home, so I just use LiveCode in development mode.

I'm currently using version 10. The settings have changed quite a bit since 6.0.3.

I code on a Powerbook Pro with an i9 Intel chip using Sequoia 15.1.1.

Attached is an image of the settings window. Thanks - John

I see what you mean now. I think LC isn't recognizing your license; it dims any platforms that you haven't been licensed for. You could try re-licensing from the Help menu. Note that if you own multiple licenses like I did, you need to page through the options to find the right pro license. I made that mistake once too because I didn't realize there was an arrow at the upper right where I could choose which license to use.

That last looks 'botty'.

Definitely a bot, but it's still true, I did make a great post :)

Yes, you did! 8)

But you do not need a bot to affirm that.

Bot or not, SparkOut and Jacque were on the right track. I own three different licenses and downloaded the wrong one.

Thanks for your help and adding a little joy to my life.
