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...

@marekmroz, the license key will come if the order was completed. If you need to get started in the meantime you can grab the fully functional trial download and enter the key when it arrives. It may take some time due to the volume of orders.

Out of curiosity, why such discrepancy between the price to US vs EU customers?

I just tweeted @JetBrains with the same question. 37 USD becomes 35 EURO(as opposed to ~25 EURO with more up to date currency convert). It's a pity because if I got USD equivalent pricing, I was planning on buying more of their products for stacks I just want to play around with(RubyMine, IntelliJ)

If you buy IntelliJ, you can just install the Ruby plugin. The Python plugin makes IntelliJ equivalent to PyCharm, so I guess the same goes for Ruby.

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.

@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.

Still haven't received an email. Just logged into my bank account (I used my debit card) and I don't see any holds or anything. I'm beginning to wonder if the transaction actually went through. In the order process there's the page that said if it takes longer than 30 seconds click the link below to continue. I had to click the link and the following page had an order or reference number (which I didn't bother to write down because I assume these things go through fine... I've never had a problem before). I also don't want to accidentally double order, so at this point, I'm now prepared to have not spent the money should the order process have gotten borked.

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…

@jrs235 if you got to the point where you saw a reference number then the transaction should go through just fine. There is a delay in the emails that you receive but it should arrive just fine within hours.

We are refreshing. Trust us. Our fingers are on F5.

Fingers on F5 are not really helping. It's like a small scale DDoS if everybody did that.

That was a joke. It could have been more obvious maybe. Sorry for the confusion.

Hey @rdemmer, I appreciate the effort you and other Jetbrains guys and gals put in keeping HN up to date with the server meltdown situation, but your comment does not address my (admittedly first-world) problem at all. I know I can get the trial and register when the keys eventually arrive. What I am saying is that if they arrive after the sale ends, I won't be able to get promo price on 1 year license extension, as to buy the extension one has to provide the license key.

Maybe reassuring folks that the 24 hour counter will only start once the site is functioning again would go a long way towards stopping folks from hitting F5 so much...

you can certainly expect fairness. If you are unable to purchase due to the store being down it is fair to expect an extension.

That's good to hear. I submitted an order over an hour ago and have received no email confirmation, license key, download link, whatever :) I emailed your sales department to at least make a paper trail of that. Looking forward to giving your products a real trial now.

Does anyone know how, say, IntelliJ handles Javascript? or RubyMine? For instance, If I've got a Rails project with JS in it, do I need both WebStorm and RubyMine? Wish there was "one IDE to rule them all!" type of thing. I don't work in just one language.

We use the same core for JavaScript, HTML, CSS among all IDE's. They're often not available at the same time because we ship at different times. Otherwise all the same.

Are you saying that if I buy AppCode WebStorm would be redundant/unnecessary?

So was it scheduled or do you lie to your [potential] customers as a matter of policy?

In response to comment: "If you put up an error page that says "scheduled maintenance" and the "maintenance" is unscheduled then that's a lie. It's not a mistake unless you accidentally put the wrong page up or something like that. It's a pretty common corporate thing: they have a panic situation and instead of saying "we're overloaded with traffic and can't keep the server up but are trying hard to meet the load; pl…

>there was no let's put up a "scheduled maintenance" page to mislead anybody //

So why not a "site overloaded" page then.

I'd guess it went down like

1: "the servers are melting; Rackspace say they can handle it for $X million"

2: "take the site down while we switch over to Amazon"

1: "what do we tell customers"

2: "just stick up the 'scheduled maintenance' page".

It's perhaps on the level of lying to your boss that you got stuck in [road] traffic on the way to work.
