They had a model where I got <i>some</i> support for X months (12?) for the cost of the license.  When that license ended, I got no more support, but the software kept working.  If I don&#x27;t need the support, and am happy with the version I have, why do I need to keep paying in perpetuity for new features and service I&#x27;ll never use?<p>I&#x27;m <i>fine</i> if they want to introduce new licensing options, but pulling the old perpetual license model bothers me.  <i>Raise the perpetual price</i> if you want to guide more people to monthly&#x2F;annual, but let me keep a perpetual license that doesn&#x27;t stop working when I quit paying.<p>The problem with JB not accommodating the sentiment isn&#x27;t just &quot;Jetbrains will lose out&quot; - many current and future users will too.
