IntelliJ IDEA 终于和 pycharm 一样变成一个版本了

啊....
看来 IntelliJ 压力很大.

Starting with IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2, we are updating the licensing experience for Ultimate users. If your subscription expires, you won’t be locked out of the IDE. Instead, you will continue to have access to the full IDE, but with the feature set matching what is available for free (previously known as Community Edition).

这是不是说，以前 license 过期了能停留在 ultimate 老版本，现在过期了就只有 fallback 到免费版？

It is, we are not changing the licencing model.

Perpetual fallback license stays and works as it used to, granting access to the last major version that was available when your subscription started. Inside the unified distribution, that will mean that you would be able to activate a subscription in corresponding older IntelliJ IDEA versions using the fallback license you have.

按评论区的说法，旧版的永久许可证还是有的

@Wilson233 上次流出来 DataGrip 优惠码的时候，正好是 2025.1 版本，比较幸运看来将来还能用回退这个功能不受限的 Ultimate 版本。

只是这个月再续费的用户明年到期只能用社区版的话，我相信用户流失的速度更快了。

因为我知道不少人对新功能要求没那么高，一般是买 1 年，一年后回退旧版本再用 2-3 年，然后出来一个反响很不错的新版本后，再买一年。

话说免费版 IntelliJ 能装 Python 插件当免费版 PyCharm 用了吗？
