So... not that it really matters I imagine, but JetBrains doesn't do pure subscription. Rather, you buy your IDEs, and effectively have a perpetual license to the product you bought. You get free upgrades, and if you keep paying, your license gets updated along with it.
If you don't continue paying, you still have the IDE you paid for. You just don't get updates. This seems like a subtle distinction, but I think it's an important one in the world of subscription services.

- inetknght 1y agoSo it's like what software licenses were 20 years ago. That's a good thing.
- FpUser 1y agoYep. Having perpetual license is precondition for me buying major development tools.
- dismalaf 1y agoJetBrains does have a subscription option, including a monthly subscription to get all their tools.
- int_19h 1y agoThe yearly subscription includes the "perpetual fallback" license GP is talking about. With monthly, you get that once you've been subscribed for 12 months.
