Speaking of which, last time this came up on HN ilfak cruised into the comments a week later, all "I can not find your nickname in our database," and I didn't see the reply until a year later. Well, the HexRays database had no problem finding my-nickname-at-gmail for the purposes of bugging me to renew, and just in case anyone thinks I'm making this up, here's the order. I also have an email with the download link and serial number -- the ones that didn't work -- and the ghosted support requests spread throughout the following year.

I'm sure this is a Hanlon's Razor thing, I just want to make sure that any naive young hackers considering the possibility of a last-time-buy on a perpetual license understand what they are getting into.
