Perpetual licence or no longer able to use which is it?
I currently have a license to IntelliJ Ultimate. I know my license going to expire later this month (3/13) and I've already received the emails from Jetbrains telling me my subscription will be renewed on 3/14. In that email, there is a link for "What happens if I don't renew?" and that link says:
When purchasing an annual subscription, you will immediately get a perpetual fallback license for the exact version available at the time.
So when I see this message in IntelliJ I'm confused. Will I be able to use the software "forever" or not?
Your IntelliJ IDEA subscription expires on 3/13/2018.
After this date you will no longer able to use IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1.5
After closer reading I believe that whatever version was available at the time I purchased my subscription is the version I'll be able to use "forever". Just one problem. When I've installed and kept current I've uninstalled my "old" version", so my questions are:
(Q) How can I find what version is associated with my perpetual forever license?
(Q) Does JetBrains support downloading of older versions? If so where do I go?
(Q) Is the same license key that I use for my subscription used for the "perpetual" license? Or is there a different license key. If it's different where do I go to download it?
(Q) If/when I renew subscription, will I receive a new license key?
I can probably search and find these answers, but wanted the question in case others were curious, and for me in another year.

Well, it didn't take long to find the answers. JetBrains has done a great job in making this easy. Here's what I found:
(Q) How can I find what version is associated with my perpetual forever license?
(A) After logging onto my JetBrains account, I see "Fallback versions" Multiple products. When I click on the link I see the name of the product, the version (2016.3) and a download link.
(Q) Does JetBrains support downloading of older versions? If so where do I go?
(A) See above answer.
I don't have answers to the other questions (yet).
>(Q) Is the same license key that I use for my subscription used for the "perpetual" license? Or is there a different license key. If it's different where do I go to download it?
Yes, the key is the same.
>(Q) If/when I renew subscription, will I receive a new license key?
Yes, you will get a new license key.
You can contact sales team if you have any questions about the licenses.
