JetBrains grants You a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use each Product covered by the Toolbox Subscription for non-commercial, educational purposes only (including conducting academic research or providing educational services). Section 3.1 of the license says, in relevant part: But it seems reasonably clear that this is not what the company has in mind.Īnother user has pointed out a link to the actual license terms which I failed to note. If work is done on a student project, and after a non-student license is purchased that project is commercialized, would the license have been violated, and if so, would the company be likely to sue? The fist question cannot be answered without the full text of the license, and the second would require reading the minds of the company officials. But the FAQ says:įree educational licenses can be used strictly for non-commercial educational purposes (including academic research).Įxactly how this company defines "non-commercial educational purposes" is not stated. If you need some more time, you can also participate in the PhpStorm Early Access Program, which allows you to use the early releases of upcoming versions in exchange for living with (and ideally reporting) an occasional bug or two.The full text of the license is not included on the page you link to, or on any linked page that I checked. JetBrains also offer a free 30-day-trial, so you can find out if PhpStorm will work for you without any strings attached.
If you are a student, you can even use PhpStorm or any JetBrains IDE free of charge. If you haven't been using PhpStorm before, I highly recommend giving it a try.
You can find more plugins from within the IDE or by browsing the JetBrains PhpStorm Plugin Repository. Vladimir Reznichenko, Ivan Scherbak and David Rodrigues I have tried a few, and here's a list of what I see as essential PhpStorm plugins:Īlexey Gopachenko, Maxim Kolmakov and Svetlana Zemlyanskaya Nonetheless, while PhpStorm already is the perfect development environment, there are plugins that make it even better. As advertised, it's lightning fast and smart, and I can't image I could be any happier or more productive with any other IDE! Plugins Bastian Hofmann gave a demonstration of PhpStorm, and I was amazed! Directly after the meeting I went home, installed it, and have been using it ever since.
At that meeting, a few IDEs and editors (some of which I had worked with before) were demonstrated. In January 2012 I attended a meeting of BEPHPUG, the Berlin PHP user group. Most of them were quickly outgrown by the projects I worked on at the time. Some of them were just the right tool to get started, others were recommended by friends and developers along the way.
Over the years, I have tried a bunch of them - with varying degrees of successes. If you are like me and have been programming for a bit, you probably have worked with several editors and IDEs.
