You seem to be conflating the perpetual licence, which is what we have currently and will stop being available in November with the new subscription. If I do not move to the subscription model, I can continue to use my current version of PHPStorm, in perpetuity.

However, I cannot subscribe under the new terms, and keep using the software if I decide to stop subscribing. Earlier in this thread you suggested that we could subscribe for a month and keep using the software afterwards. This is incorrect. Once you stop subscribing, you lose the rights to use the software
