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. Note: if you want to generate a Legacy License Key for your existing license for the All Products Pack, ReSharper Ultimate + Rider, or dotUltimate, please contact JetBrains Sales for assistance.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.

Please note that this licensing option is not available for JetBrains Product Pack for Students.Ī legacy license key for versions released before November 2, 2015, can be obtained on the JetBrains Account website either by the licensed user or the personal license owner.
