How do you extend the trial period? Not ready to buy 7.0 yet.

And how do you think JetBrains will pay their employees if everybody is
using a trial version for an unlimited time period?

The reason I want to do this is because I am not ready buy an upgrade from 6 to 7 yet. IDEA is simply too dissapointing for me on OS X (10.5) and I would like to wait until 7.0.2 or maybe even 7.0.3 is out and then decide whether I want to buy an upgrade.

I don't know about everybody so I can't comment on that. What I want is simply an extra month so that I can decide later whether I want to go forward with this. I don't think that is very unreasonable.

You should probably contact JetBrains' sales department to request an extended evaluation license. I
don't think you'll get an answer here about how to defeat the limitation of the evaluation period.

Nevermind .. I figured it out already.

on another hand, if you feel 7.0 is not good enough for you, you should be fine running 6.0 :)

Well, I haven't decided yet. I really like 7.0, but I think I need to play at least a little while with the final 7.0.2 release before I make up my mind. Specially with all the little OS X fixes in that release.

I'll probably upgrade around christmas, nice geek present :)

Hello Stefan,

How do I make IDEA forget that it runs in trial mode? Is there a file
I can delete to reset the 30 day period?

The reason I want to do this is because I am not ready buy an upgrade
from 6 to 7 yet. IDEA is simply too dissapointing for me on OS X
(10.5) and I would like to wait until 7.0.2 or maybe even 7.0.3 is out
and then decide whether I want to buy an upgrade.

Please contact sales@jetbrains.com.

Back in the past, I seem to recall that personal licences weren't typically available but did get offered for sale as Christmas (or was it New Year) and Easter 'presents'.
