I heard about it and googled…
Is this for real? I thought Xojo was not doing big sales anymore? Muahahahah
Trying to get licenses out…I can understand that. Summer is always a sad time
“Subscribe to Get Notified early” 
Looks like a market research to see how many clients can they get back…
But maybe the CEO still dont get that users want bug fixes and modern useful features that actually work instead of stupid renaming and features that were popular more than 2 decades ago (“Easy Database Connection”)
Web2 became almost feature complete on 2024r2 but still have several bugs on really basic UI… Not worth the current price.
Mobile is a joke, sure, you can do basic stuff but Not worth the current price and feels like a waste of money to buy a “PRO” if the price include Mobile.
Giveme XML tools from this century, Native SVG, Vectorial Barcodes for PDF, “SemiPro bundle” with Desktop + Web and a discount.
Otherwise, not a lot of reasons to upgrade change xojo
I think there are not so many people “changing” to Xojo. Why should people do that? There are several solutions open source available. Not only Java. But even with Java I can have Desktop, Web and mobile for free of charge. With working android, working IOS, working Web and rock solid Desktop. So why the heck somebody should move to Xojo?
So they try to get their old customers back on Board. In the old times many users came while they moved away from Visual Basic. Since there are no new users for Visual basic anymore while deprecated there is no former visual basic user base. It has users which are still using it but…they are not really moving.
And there is an alternative. The Windows userbase is more or less working with B4J while it is - for Windows users - coming with all you need and has all the platforms. No MacOS IDE but who needs it as a windows user?
I would say that is one of the reasons why there is no big attack of new users for Xojo licenses. Who should begin with Xojo when there are soooo many alternatives for Xojo?
my last project was from someone moving to Xojo from LiveCode.

Okay that could be a reason. From one katastrophe to the other. What a loss of time.

Speed and lack of ability to do some things easily in some modern solutions because, “Why would anyone want to do that, thats stupid*,” and it turns out there’s a market for it.
- to clarify, nothing dastardly. Just a very specific use case.
Geoff has cost many of us massive losses of time.

They said they wouldn’t do “expected sales” anymore (like at Black Friday or other known times), but would continue doing sales at their wish times.
There is no real market anymore. That was. Looking on the market there are players which are really small but still hundret times bigger than Xojo. We are looking on a small company searching for customers. At the end there will be a cut and the use of this product will end abrupt. When they one day close the company there is no license server anymore and that’s the end of the story.
Thank you for clarifying!
That actually shouldnt be an issue 
The license server missing shouldnt spell the end of your ability to use the IDE (if you still use it)

What about compiling? And if one gets a new computer?

Make sure you download the license file and back that up
Then you’re good to go either way
Change your computer and have fun
Been there done that
Download the license file and add it back in manually

We have tested it and it was not working in all cases what makes it a bit impossible
What have you tested?
What didn’t work?
License transfer offline without license server. Changing computers with the dojo license and changing between 2019r32 and 2024. The license could in many cases not be activated. Only with contact to the license server it was possible.
