![]() ![]() My entire monthly budget was around $275, $190 for a room and $85 for food and everything else. I paid 0 (zero) for tuition because education is free here (somehow). I live in Poland, I moved to different city for my IT studies. It’s not a bit insulting, it’s insulting as fuck. To say $70 is laughable is a bit insulting – that’s a lot of money for some people. In my wettest dream public institutions should order institutional license for their students? Some colleges in the states really charges a premium for the tuition I asked this in the first place because “Education Discounts” is listed a top on Sales FAQ as if the author himself cannot bear the thoughts that students are using his software. You are on Linux and Windows (or Windows and Mac)? You are good to go! Again, try this with Photoshop. Try this with visual studio!Ĥ.1) One license is cross platform. That doesnt’ sound that big, but if you have 5 PC you work on you need only one license. Don’t forget that ST is a one man show you preffer a developer that focus on… development or on checking papers? ![]() Pricing based on some extra papers means … extra paper to handle: show your school ID, tuition bills or whatever.Probably there was a estimation on Sublime HQ that proved that lower prices for students doesn’t necessary mean (much) higher revenue.Jon doesn’t get any tax deduction out of this (don’t believe for a SECOND that Apple, Adobe or Microsoft have this kind of discounts out of their generosity!).On a more serious note: education discount is not an option for sublime and i suppose that’s because on more reasons: Probably the fact that there are lots of open source packages revolving around ST and SM adds confusion to the issue and blurs the line between the proprietary (and commercial) products and their open source (and free) third party additional components.Īs for the idea of a discount for ST registered users buying SM, why not? This could be a good motivation factor, especially for offices that would have to buy multiple licenses, where a 10% discount would ultimately make a difference.Guys, i think that’s enough trolling. Somehow, this generous policy of not putting restrictions on the trial period has been often translated into the misconception that buying the license is optional, some kind of good will act to support its developers. So to me it makes sense to allow users to take all the time they need before deciding. So, there are many good products which I didn’t buy just because I burned my single chance to test them. Personally, I hate software trial periods where you have the pressure of 30 days or 30 work sessions and in many cases I end up not finding the time to test the software at all before the 30 days expire, due to work overload. When SM came out, it took me only a couple of hours to decide it was going to be my Git GUI of choice, and bought a license straight away. In my case, it took me rather long to decide whether I wanted to switch to ST or not, because I had only a couple of hours a week to play around with it, and because I wasn’t sure it could replace the various editors I was used to work with. But ultimately, there comes a point when you realized whether you are going to make ST/SM your tools of choice, and at that point you need to purchase a license if you wish to carry on using the product. ST allows you to try the product for as long as you need to decide whether it suits you or not - being an editor, some people might take a week to decide, other might need three months, because they want to test all the packages they need, and/or because they might have little spare time to dedicate to trying it out. Registered users (like you and me) tend to overlook this issue, but it seems to me that many unregistered users misunderstand the license policies of ST and SM (which ultimately makes them feel they don’t really need to buy a license at all). I’m saying this just to dispel some confusion I often encounter on forums, where I see people mentioning that ST can be used freely. I’d rather rephrase that into “Since you can TRY both products for free, without restrictions, WHEN you choose to pay…”. Since you can use both for free, if you choose to pay…
