You know what would make this a really awesome sale? If we could just buy it all for an even bigger discount.

With the exception of reShaper, YouTrack, and the Obj-C environment, I think that's called IntelliJ…

Yeah I figured that after from all the comments here, IntelliJ is one of the few on the list I never actually looked at because I don't work with Java much.

Just buy your own copy, you are allowed to use it at work but you can't share it with other people. Also you have to buy it with your own money.

From the license page, it does not look like you are allowed to use your copy at work (would be great if this were possible ;) ): "Personal licenses are not available to companies in any way or form. Transfer of personal licenses to any third party and/or reimbursement for personal license purchase by a company are prohibited by the Personal License Agreement" http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/buy/buy.jsp#personal

I've glanced through the license. You are allowed to install it on as many machines as you need as long as only you use it. I can't see any limitations on what work you can do or who for.

My conclusion is that as long as you have paid for it you can use it at work but cannot reclaim expenses for it or transfer it in any way.

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.

I'm trying like hell to get a copy of AppCode, guess I'll be hitting F5 all day trying to get it in the cart. For $25 I have to try it... big fan of other JetBrains products.

I'll probably wait for tomorrow.. it's not like it's going to be sold out (I hope).

Do we have any feedback for the problem from Jetbrains?

@skiabox we are working on it. sorry for any inconvenience.

Getting to the end of the working day here in the UK, will there be any extension to the sales time?

Not a demand, just really want rubymine and phpstorm =)

I am not happy with the poor differentiation between personal (individual developers) and companies: owners of small companies can earn less than an individual developer, expecting to earn more in the future but with much more risk.

Then buy a personal copy for yourself and use it at work - you just can't buy for your employees is all...

Get to work before noon tomorrow and hope it will be done by then :)

Thanks, seems I have misread the license terms :)
