I have no problem paying for updates, as long as the product would keep working without an active subscription (what happens if there’s no connectivity, servers are down, the provider goes bakrupt or change its terms?)
- johnnyanmac 3y agoThat is one great thing about how Jetbrains monetizes. You "subscribe" for a year of some IDE and after a year's worth of subscriptions you keep the 20xx version that you subscribed to. So you can use 20xx as a standalone or subscribe so that you get updates for 20xx + 1.
