I am fine with that, as long as whatever version I have at the time continues to work and is not shut off. I looked at the renewal prices and discovered there is a discount for renewing and further reading I discovered that if I don't update after a certain period of time I would have to purchase a full version license as the renewal price would not apply. My understanding is that this is same license for all their products but maybe webstorm says something different to that, I haven't read that license myself.ĭuring the first year I get updates, after that I have to renew the subscription to get further updates whether they are dot releases or major versions. After that I would have to renew the subscription to get further updates but whatever version I had upto that point would just work as usual. When I purchased a license to PhpStorm my understanding was that the license did not expire which meant to me I would have full use of the software forever and free updates which include the major versions and minor dot releases for one year. Just FYI for those that may have had the same perception that I did about JetBrain products and how their SUBSCRIPTIONS work. TL DR: If a new version of WS is released within the first year, you aren't really eligible for an upgrade to that version. I love WebStorm, but the false claims by JetBrains just forced me to use a different editor/ide. Funny how a license transformed into a subscription. I was told I have to have an ACTIVE subscription. I'm sorry but, bug fixes with some small enhancements in a point release SHOULD NOT invalidate my license for the major version of webstorm 3. HOWEVER, if/when Webstorm 3.1 is released, my license is NOT valid for that version! After a call to sales, I was told that yes my license is eligible for the MAJOR version, Webstorm 3.
Here we are 364 days later (literally 1 day before my license is up) and WebStorm 3 is out.
When I purchased my license of WebStorm, part of the agreement stated that any major upgrades that were released within a year, would bump my license up for the new version.
