Unfortunately they don't let you "buy" anymore. It's a yearly fee a la adobe creative cloud and as soon as you stop paying they "de-update" you a year.

- lemming 10y agoI assume this works fine with intellij community edition, which is free and apache licenced OSS.
- MichaelGG 10y agoTheir website seems to indicate that if you pay for 12 months in a row, then you get a perpetual fallback license.
- xiaoma 10y agoThe "fallback" means downgrading. E.g., if you pay for a year now, you get updates for a year. If you don't pay again in July 2017, then you have to downgrade to the July 2016 version, which you may use in perpetuity. It's designed such that not only do you stop getting new things when you stop paying, you lose some of what you already have.
