Bumping this to let people know that I booted up GameMaker 8.1 today and it's in the Standard version instead of the Lite version. Between the date of the original post (mid-2022) and today, I think I once had GameMaker 8.1 register my license and become the Standard version, but aside from that it reverts back to the Lite version. I'm not sure why this happens. Is it because YYG has been messing around with whatever server GameMaker 8.1 is connected to? Did YYG realize they messed up people's GameMaker 8.1 licenses and are now trying to fix the problem? Or maybe they don't notice this whole kerfuffle and at some point later on they'll do something that'll mess up the licenses again? Who knows... at least I opened up a few of my old, abandoned games and exported them into EXEs, so I can play them with the Standard features left intact, even if I lose my Standard version again.
@VinnyVideo Good thing GameMaker is free now! I still can't believe YYG made that decision after sticking to a subscription for so long, not that I'm complaining!
I'm not sure if the newest version will work in my computer, though...
