How to Cancel RubyMine Subscription
Quick answer
Cancelling RubyMine in year one gives no fallback license; after 12 months you keep a perpetual fallback version.
Most likely fix: Understand what happens before you cancel
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Understand what happens before you cancel
- Cancelling or downgrading within the first year gives you no fallback license
- After 12 consecutive months of subscription you get a perpetual fallback license for the version available when the subscription started, plus its minor releases
- Find the fallback version in your JetBrains Account, download it and activate with your account or an offline code
- Newer major versions need a new or renewed subscription
