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?

For me the 75% off mark moves my thought process from

“I'm mainly doing Ruby. Do I want RubyMine? IntelliJ IDEA supports all the Ruby stuff plus other languages too right? Argh, this is complicated. Maybe I'll take another look later if I think I really want/need this.”

to

“Hey 75% off. I think I'll just grab both. Maybe even collect all 6!”

2 days? I'm curious why software companies still use Digital River. As a customer I've run into issues with about half the orders I've placed through DR subsidiaries.

From what I know 2 days is on the extreme side but stated in the delivery policy. Should be much quicker albeit some delay due to the volume of orders.

That really sucks, I finally managed to get PyCharm and WebStorm today and was hoping to also get 1yr license extension for both. It looks like it is not possible w/o the license key, which is nowhere to be seen so far...

I am trying to buy PyCharm but the price is still $99 in the JetBrains shopping cart. Is anyone else seeing that? edit: Sale prices are back. edit2: Purchases complete still working, still awaiting license code.

Me too, just managed to buy it. Likewise, the license code is not yet here.

3 hours after purchase here, not even an order confirmation email (though I did get the purchase confirmation page and an order number which I've now lost thanks to a browser crash and my inability to find a pen.)

I don't have any reason to doubt it'll come, but I'm kicking myself for not waiting until later when everything would have been running smoothly.

Has anyone else paid but not gotten their license info email? It's been several hours and I still haven't gotten my license info. Update: Thank you for the replies. Glad to know I didn't accidentally mistype my email twice. I agree, their license server might be hiccupping now that they got the order system fixed. Update 2: Still haven't recieved an email. Just logged into my bank account (I used my debit card) and I…

Waiting as well.

JetBrains products are far from expensive for this class of software (or for any other software out there). Considering the awesome support, level of polish and massive value provided by the JetBrains team, their products are actually pretty cheap. I guess that a lot of people are just exercising their options regardless of actual need for the product. For me PyCharm has paid itself many times over. Keep up the good…

@JanezStupar thank you for your support! Take good care.

Still waiting for mine, but given the issues they've had today, I won't be surprised if it takes hours to receive the license info in my inbox. I was actually able to order with no problems, at least.

Do they send out an email confirmation of payment? I haven't received any emails, but also don't want to accidentally process two orders.

Hang tight scrumper, if you got the purchase confirmation page you are all set. An email will follow with delay because of the volume.

@panzerboy, no worries it will be on the way. Happy to hear you were able to take advantage of the discount!

@MoOmer, if you finished the transaction the email will arrive. Glad that you were able to make your purchase. There is a backlog of emails to be sent but if the order was completed you will be all set.
