I'm not sure I understand. You're saying my statement is true if "you only pay for subscription for a single year" but false if "you get a perpetual licence for any version you paid for 12 month or more". Did you mean to say "more than 12 months?" because otherwise those statements overlap. >in the example you link if I continue the subscription for another 4 month I will be able to keep v2. Well, I never claimed otherwise. But perhaps we can agree to summarize it all in a different way: At the end of any twelve month (or more) subscription you are are forced to downgrade to a one year old version, regardless of what's been released since. Agree?

Another way to put it... If you want to cancel your subscription you need to pay for an additional year if you want to keep using the version you're currently using. I'm not sure why JetBrains gets so much praise. Their licensing is objectively worse than when it used to be perpetual licenses with upgrade pricing. It's going to get worse too. I think JetBrains Space is going to get pushed more and it's a subscription lock-in nightmare. It's very sad to see JetBrains locking their solution for dev environments behind a subscription.
