03/31/2020, 9:33 AMDoes it mean one can keep using just EAPs/betas and have the full Intellij ultimate experience?

03/31/2020, 11:31 AMNo, EAPs are limited in time they are offered. The intermediate license you get expires together with the EAP version. If there is a new EAP you can upgrade to that but if not, well, no full experience for you anymore. 😉

The personal license isn't too expensive, but I know everyone's means are different.
So as above, you can generally run EAP for a very long time w/o a licence, but there will definitely be times where you need a licence. I think the EAP's are generally licenced for a month, and when they get to RC type builds, a licence is required.
