    Also, doesn’t the jetbrains license let you continue to use the version that was the latest as of when your license ended. It’s a small difference, but also kinda huge.

      It’s the version from when you paid your annual subscription (or 12 monthly payments ago) plus any bugfixes.

      So you buy 4.3.2 and you will always have access to 4.3.Z

      2 months later they release 5.0.0. Your subscription let’s you use 5.0.0. If you cancel your subscription then can go back to your perpetual version 4.3.Z

      At least that’s how it’s supposed to work

          Assuming you keep paying, 12 months from its release if you pay monthly or you’ll get a licence for whatever version is newest at the point you renew if you pay yearly

      No. I know this because a couple of times my license expired, and 30 days before it does you’ll just get a little warning in the IDE - or in tools like Resharper. After that it just stops working.

      Iy used to he that, but they’re pushing the new subscription model now and i don’t think the old one can still be purchased.
