![]() ![]() What software developer doesn’t make mistakes at times? Major companies sometimes brick computers with their latest operating systems. The dialog misstep is a minor inconvenience to recover from at worst. If you like ST3, download the latest, turn off upgrades, and you should be fine, and can use it forever, or until the time that it no longer runs on future operating systems. It has been fixed in recent versions, but ST3 is not receiving any more updates. It’s already been covered that the upgrade dialog was unfortunately poorly thought out for this situation, and almost everyone agrees with this. Yes, you have an ST3 license, but you do not have an ST4 license. I cannot fathom why someone would be upset at the software telling them they are not licensed when they are not licensed. ![]() If you are using ST4, and you do not have the appropriate license, you will appropriately get the notification. If you do not want to use an unlicensed version, use the one that is licensed to you, which is ST3. It doesn’t mention ‘Sublime Text - (LICENSE UPGRADE REQUIRED)’ unless you are using an unlicensed version. I purchase the software I use and expect the software I purchase to not be titled things like ‘Sublime Text - (LICENSE UPGRADE REQUIRED)’ as if I pirated it. I write code in a professional environment. But it had always been clear that a license would not be for every release under the entire lifetime of Sublime’s development, only for the major version under which the license was purchased (see Sublime Text’s new terms for ST4). I don’t recall the year ST3 came out, so maybe your purchase matched up with that timeframe. With that said, people who bought an ST2 license very close to the ST3 release were allowed an auto-upgrade to ST3. If you are complaining that your ST2 license does not work on ST4, then your license will not be valid, though I would be surprised that you didn’t notice this when ST3 came out years ago as it also would not allow an ST2 license. Now, if your ST2 license has stopped working for ST2 versions, then you should contact support as maybe your license has somehow been leaked and banned. It was never promised it would be valid for any future, major versions, just minor versions and bugfix versions. And if you had a license for ST3, it should be valid for all ST3 versions. Yes, your ST2 license is always valid for all ST2 versions, that should not have changed. Now that ST4 has been released, a new license is requrired (granted, terms of the license are now a bit different for Sublime as of ST4, but a license is still required for the new version(s), etc.). When ST3 came out, I had to buy a new license or stick to ST2. Top 17 Sublime Text Plugins 1.I’m not sure who “they” it is you are referring to, or the exact quote that you are referring to, but I purchased Sublime way back in the Sublime Text 2 days as well (before 2014), and it was very clear that the license was for the entire ST2 series. Our list of the top seventeen Sublime Text packages has something for everyone with both general packages and extensions aimed at developers in specific languages or stacks. It’s worth noting that our list of our favorite Sublime Text plugins is fairly versatile and is (mostly) random in order. However, if you need more than markdown support and spell checking for text? You’re going to have to turn to plugins (also known as packages) for your Sublime Text. The features Sublime Text 3 (the latest commercial version) offers developers include GoTo definition, a command pallet, split editing and a list of handy preset keyboard shortcuts. It packs quite a few built-in features that make this lightweight cross-platform tool loved by many despite its license cost. When it comes to Sublime Text, there’s a good reason for its popularity among its peers. If you want to enhance your text editor to be a comfortable tool for coding? You’ll need to download and install plugins or extensions. It doesn’t even matter if you’re a web developer or Python coder. However, whether you choose Vim, Atom or Sublime Text, one thing is certain: you will need plugins to get the functionality you want. Text editors are one of the most basic must-have tools in the arsenal of every developer.
