Interesting that you chose the "JetBrains model" as example cause everyone I know who uses one or several JetBrains products uses cracked versions. I know like 10 developers who use their products and I don't think a single one of them paid for it. So I guess one of the advantages of the SaaS models is that you can't actually use the product without paying for it. And if you detect that an account is fraudulent (hacked account, account sharing, fake banking info, etc) or late in its payment, you can just temporarily or permanently disable it with a simple UPDATE query.
