Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

You can use it at work.

    We're thrilled that you've come all the way here to buy our products! Thank you!

    However, we did not expect the load on our servers would be this high. We are working hard right now to fix the problem.

    Please be patient and come back in a couple of hours.
    There's still time...

Oh alright.

One of those rare moments where I am trying to throw money at someone and no matter how hard I try they just won't take it...

Looks like their servers have had a meltdown ... Clearly they underestimated the planet-wide morphic resonance across software developers for pre-apocalypse deep discounts on IDEs :)

Sorry, working on restoring service. Current estimate: 2-3 hours.

Can anyone vouch for RubyMine? Its going to be my first venture in to the language, is it a good tool to have? I'm looking at Rubymine and PHPstorm, at these prices ill call it a Christmas present from me to me. Unfortunately lots of other people seem to have the same idea and the site is currently bricked.

RubyMine has my vote for best Ruby IDE (at least in terms of what I've personally used). It has many helpful features (e.g.: click-through to classes/method definitions), and its ability to debug just pushes it right over the top to make it a must-have for me.

All their server issues must mean they are dealing with unprecedented demand.

It makes me wonder: When demand is THIS intense for a 75% off sale, you think it'd mean a more optimal "normal" price point would be at 25-50% off your current normal prices, wouldn't you?

This web-site needs Cloudflare or similar. I cannot get a darn thing to load.

My advice: don't say your site is down for "scheduled maintenance" when it's obviously because of an unexpected surge in traffic. It just makes you look dishonest. (Well, either that or really terrible at scheduling your maintenance periods.)

A hell of advice. Will pass that over to the team who's maintaining JetBrains estore. Thanks )
