I bought the IntelliJ when it was not free for students around March last year. I got an email saying I could upgrade to an individual license as if I had already purchased the individual license. If I want to upgrade to IJ14, would I need to buy an upgrade or do upgrades last for a year after my purchase?

As far as I remember, you should be able to upgrade for free if it's within a year of your purchase date.

I called them and there was a policy change or something. Customer service was really friendly. Now my choices include registering for an educational license or renewing as an individual.
