&quot;Take it or leave it&quot; is not a choice, it&#x27;s an ultimatum. Please stop presenting this as as something you can use &quot;if you like it&quot; - you&#x27;re completely discontinuing the old license model and only offering rental of your products starting in November.<p>Overall, this is a fairly hefty price hike with &quot;reasonable&quot; prices grandfathered in for current customers. Along with the price hike, you&#x27;re actually delivering a less useful product as well - renting software is not worth as much to me as buying a perpetual license. Judging by the other responses here, I&#x27;m not alone in that. Grandfathering in existing users might seem like a good way to appease us, but we aren&#x27;t stupid.<p>Jetbrains has always been good to me. I like your products and recommend them to other developers. If this licensing&#x2F;pricing change goes through as-is, I will not recommend Jetbrains products any more. You talk a lot in the blog post about how great this new licensing model is for us - if you&#x27;re serious about any of that, give us a real choice. Offer the old model alongside this one and see which one we customers find to be more useful. Anything less would be an admission that, better or not, you&#x27;re forcing these changes on us without any concern for what we want.
