Make license permanent instead of leased

And a full license with perspective is of course out of normal people range for smart home control system.

I'll link this thread which has a few of my replies that cover this, but:

Uses for Maker edition

As most probably know, Maker is the at home version for ignition, for those who didn't know, now you do. My question is what benefits am I actually getting using Maker software opposed to developing my own GUI through python? I just can't think of a scenario other than keeping the ignition brain juices flowing, even my "extreme" at home applications (Home garden irrigation, Garage door, Smart lights) I never felt the need to use Maker, actually I felt as if it would've slowed me down.

Disclaimer: I am just a dev

Our level of interest in B2C sales, as a company, rounds to zero. It's just not a market we're interested in. Maker is provided as a hook to get people to experiment with it and hopefully tell their bosses to buy Ignition at $workplace. That's not really a secret. If the licensing check in is a dealbreaker, then I would strongly encourage you to use a fully FOSS solution like HomeAssistant.
