Jetbrains license works slightly different.
You get a license and access to all updates released for duration. But if your license is not renewed at the end, you lose access to updates in the year/time since you bought the license.
You still keep original version at the time you purchased license for as long as you want, though.
- eitland 5y agoI'm fairly certain the Jetbrains subscription model is: (Edit, I had to look it up, the exact wording is:) "You will receive perpetual fallback licenses for every version you’ve paid 12 consecutive months for. Other notably nice app/programs that uses this or similar sane, friendly models including Sublime Text 4 and Jetbrains products: - Agenda (Mac, iOS) Planner/journal - Manic Time time tracker (Windows, maybe Mac). This can easily save you many hours a month or help you increase billing. feel free to add more examples here, we should make some positive noise about companies that don't abuse their customers. (Please don't misunderstand me: Open source is often even lovlier but there are plenty of lists of Free/Open source software.)
- jay_kyburz 5y agoI let my rider license lapse and I did have to "downgrade" to keep using it.
- eitland 5y agoBut only to the last version that you had paid for 12 months, right?
- jay_kyburz 5y agoI only had one year, so it was the release when I first paid.
- eps 5y agoSo you are forced to downgrade in some (many?) cases?
