The best subscription model I have seen so far is for the JetBrains products. They call it the perpetual fallback license.
Quote: "A perpetual fallback license is a license that allows you to use a specific version of software without an active subscription for it. The license also includes all bugfix updates, more specifically in X.Y.Z version all Z releases are included."
Because you need to pay for further patches / newer versions, and need to pay 12 months worth to be able to use without a subscription.
It gets cheaper each year, so it incentivizes you to pay year to year.
Their explanation of the license
This is standard perpetual licensing seen across many software.
One off payment = you get a perpetual license for the major version of the software including all patches for it.
Subscription = you pay a smaller fee than the one off payment per annum. You get all updates and patches. But when you stop paying, you don't get anymore updates or patches and you can lose access to the software.
Yeah i guess you are right. Did not even think about it.
Is that only for certain editors? Because at work, the second I go offline I'm forced to close Idea.
Maybe you use the corporative version? My products don't ask me to close when I'm offline, and even when I'm not logged in with JB account they start asking to log in after some weeks
I dont know really, havent used paid versions of JetBrains products. I was always just eyeing with them.
