btw - personal licences only (i.e. not commercial licenses).

As I understood it a personal license is just a named license (you can still use it commercially).

The commercial license is the basic licensing model and it has the same functionality as a personal or an academic licenses. JetBrains offers discounted personal models to support private individuals. It is only the following exception, which allows you to buy a discounted personal license model: If you have to pay it out of your own pocket, you are not getting reimbursed for buying it and you do not use any company detail (company name, company address, company VAT ID) during the purchasing process.

From their Twitter response to someone else: "Commercial license is transferable between company employees. Personal is licensed to you only."

From the documentation:

Personal licenses are not available to companies in any way or form. Transfer of personal licenses to any third party and/or reimbursement for personal license purchase by a company are prohibited by the Personal License Agreement.

So not sure what to make of that exactly... Individuals can buy it and use it commercially but companies can't? Even if you're a contractor working in your spare time, you are likely to be registered as a limited company.

I own personal licenses for 3 of their products. I use all three products for commercial work, but those licenses are my personal property. Two of those I use in my day job, the other I use for my spare time iOS development.

Not sure what happens if you are self employed or have a limited company to consult from.

That's the issue; JetBrains seem entirely unaware of that. I am one man operating through a limited company. According to them I have to buy the commercial edition even though I am the company...
