Question about licensing

[ronniebellie]

Before July 24, I can get a deal for the Indie pricing at $499 for 2 years and then locked in at $299/year after that. I'm considering this, but I have a question. It says the deal includes App Store licensing. Not sure what this is, but would there be any more costs for me to upload my Livecode apps (once I figure that out) to the Google Play store and to the IOS App Store? I need to know all the costs up front as I'm working with 4 educational conferences and I'm having some good success with developing some apps that get data from the conference MySQL databases.

For questions related to pricing and licensing, contacting the company directly at support AT livecode.com may be a better bet than this user-to-user forum.

That said, if I understand your question correctly the Apple reference there is about GPL-governed works, such as those one would make with LiveCode Community Edition. Apple's distribution limits conflict with GPL freedoms, so GPL-governed software cannot be distributed through Apple's app stores.

LiveCode Commercial Edition uses a proprietary license, with which there are no conflicts with the Apple store TOS.

LC Community is generously made available for free, so any discussion of a for-fee edition such as you describe would be for LC Commercial.

Don't forget you'll need the $99.00 Apple Developer license, good for a year.
