I'm in Bolivia but I get prices in British Pounds including VAT costs. What gives? If I use a service like HideMyAss.com to get the US page, I can see the goods in dollars and that price I should be charged. Any suggestions? I shouldn't have to pay VAT as I'm not located in the EU. Thanks!

Conversion rates are also pretty bad as 50 USD transforms into 47€ + VAT. I'm not really complaining since this is still a good deal.

Can someone explain to me what does it mean to "renew" the license? If I pay for the license now, assuming the world does not end tomorrow, will I have to pay for it again next year? How much?

Renewing just means you get another year of upgrades. Not renewing doesn't mean you lose the right to use what you already bought.

Judging by how slow your site is at 7am EST, I'd say your sale is a big success :) Anyone used AppCode? I'm tempted to give it a try, but what's its killer features compared to Xcode? If refactoring works with ObjC++ that'd be a great start; worth EUR23 alone.

AppCode has been a wonderful tool for me. I have been using it since the EAP of 1.0. If you've used IntelliJ IDEA before you will feel very comfortable here. The refactorings are great and only getting better. The debugger and the ability to inspect variables much more easily that in Xcode is awesome. I just recently renewed my support on AppCode and I could have saved some cash, but the tool is so inexpensive as it is that I don't care. But, I am going to buy my upgrade to IntelliJ IDEA 12 today. I've had every version of IDEA since version 2!

But, again AppCode is an awesome tool. When you consider the only way JetBrains can write a tool that reads Xcode projects is to constantly reverse engineer what Apple puts out, it's quite amazing.

The renew is for the subscription license for upgrades. With some of the applications you can get all the updates for free for a year and then you would have to buy a new subscription if you want newer versions if you don't want to pay any more you can continue to use the version you have until the end of the world.

@sergiotapia, you can switch your country... on the purchase page you should find text below the table to do this... Purchases from 123 are charged in XYZ. If you are not from 123, please select your country

Thanks! That dropdown was really hard to find, and the text for that option has bad contrast with the background.

Works!

NOOOOO. I've been waiting to upgrade Resharper for VS2012 and their page is offline.

A personal license for Resharper is exactly why I've been hoping for a sale.

Sick of waiting for my work to buy a volume licence, but seeing as it's a nicety and not a need to have, I might as well do the same.

Can someone chime in with how Pycharm compares to Komodo Edit - or maybe just if you've had a positive/negative experience with Pycharm? I'm starting to get a little frustrated with Komodo, and I remember liking a very brief Pycharm demo I tried a few years back, but I'd love to hear an HNer's opinion if you happen to use it day to day. It seemed to have a pretty good reputation back then, but one of the concerns I h…

What about WingIDE? Does it make sense to switch to PyCharm?
