They have some discount for open source, students and other things. You can send them an email and explain your situation, you’ll never know…
Here’s a tip for you: their beta version (EAP) is always free, but not available all the time, if you’re fine with some plugins not working
Looks like it’s too late… But I don’t think it’s a good idea either… Beta version sometimes crashes, imagine that in the middle of your work, the IDE suddenly crashes, or worse, it didn’t save your work… I did consider downloading the crack version from torrent sites, but it didn’t have the latest version… I wanted the latest features and support for Vue and Typescript…
I’m no longer a student, and I have no open-source project of my own… So, I don’t think I can convince them to give discounts… It looks like I have no choice but to buy at full price…
