Forced User Agreement on Jetbrains IntelliJ software is an attempt to alter past fallback licenses. In 2025 company is trying to enforce new terms on software bought in 2024 or prior.<blockquote>'''What is the perpetual fallback license?'''
 
The perpetual fallback license is a part of JetBrains' subscription system. It allows you to use a particular software version indefinitely, even if your active subscription ends. However, to upgrade to a newer version, you’ll need to buy or renew your subscription.</blockquote>
