How does PHPStorm EAP version works? Can we develop projects entirely on EAP versions or does it expire?

EAP has a 30 day evaluation (reset each version). If jetbrains dont release a new EAP for 30 days you version will not open and tell you to download the release version.

r/PHP on Reddit: How does PHPStorm EAP version works? Can we develop projects entirely on EAP versions or does it expire?
February 14, 2019 - Last couple of EAP's were crashing at pretty important steps, and the last one I downloaded several days ago was crashing on "Find in path" - whatever you type it produces an error, and doesn't return any results. I just stick with stable releases... ... I saw this link, https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm...

Is PhpStorm EAP Free? – IDEs Support (IntelliJ Platform) | JetBrains
February 22, 2014 - No .. you just misunderstood how it works. EAP (Early Access Program) builds are free (have their own 30-day license) for major releases (e.g. 6.0, 7.0, 8.0) as they have lots of new/not-yet-polished code and features.
