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...

How can I get Intellij Ultimate again?
The way I see it: if software engineers won’t pay for software, who will. If you can’t afford it yet, use the free version. Then when you can afford it don’t feel bad paying. Just my 2 cents. More on reddit.com

July 17, 2025 - Your perpetual fallback license still works as before, giving you access to the last major version available at the time your most recent uninterrupted year of subscription began. With the unified distribution, this means you can activate older versions that match your fallback license. Alternatively, you can use the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA with access to its current free feature set.

They seem to be starting to simplify their licensing options on some products, RustRover and Aqua at the moment, but sounds like something they would use for Fleet.

Non-Commercial = Free, but you can't make any money off things you write using it. Commercial use = Seems to be the old "for Organizations"

No more licenses for Individual Use
