IntelliJ IDEA Moves to the Unified Distribution
Starting with IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2, we are updating the licensing experience for Ultimate users. If your subscription expires, you won’t be locked out of the IDE. Instead, you will continue to have access to the full IDE, but with the feature set matching what is available for free (previously known as Community Edition). This means your work will not be interrupted, even if your subscription lapses while you are on vacation or between renewals. You will still be able to open your projects, write code, and stay productive. This should have been done right out of the box... I can't tell you how many times I've switched back to CE because for some reason our company's network flipped out trying to communicate to the license server, or can't connect due to trying to work offline for an extended period...

has anyone had success licensing an idea?
I have. I can tell you that the path you are taking is more closely representing a venture than a licensing deal. In short, you are way over doing it. Doing things that aren't critical to the process. Which is doing nothing but diminishing the value you could potentially get out of it. The basic process for licensing is to create a sell sheet. On that sell sheet you put some sort of depiction of the invention. Which can be a picture of a prototype, 3D model or hand drawing illustration. The general rule of thumb is to use the bare minimum you need to get the point across (The Lean Startup). On the sell sheet, you also need to make the case of what is in it for them. Then, you build as large of list as you can of potential companies to license too, and their contact info. Then when done with that, do it again and make the list longer. You are going to get a lot of "no". It's a numbers game. Then, consider if you need a provisional patent or not. It depends on the situation. But filing one is pretty cheap. You have one year from filing, which is why you need that big list before hand. You don't want to waste that year building lists. Then reach out. There is a really good YouTube series by InventRightTV that has a ton of content. More on reddit.com

Fast Track License - A BAD IDEA

Fast track license - A GREAT IDEA

I've been sim racing since 2011 but only started iRacing in 2018. Fast tracking helped me get into cars I had actually driven before instead of fucking around in MX5s and getting wrecked every other race.

Fast tracking is good for experienced players and terrible for new ones.
