The base version of IntelliJ is FOSS, and they kinda offer perpetual licenses for their paid applications. If you subscribe for an entire year, you get a perpetual fallback license. It's just a license for an older version of the software, but you get to keep it forever. https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What-is-a-perpetual-fallback-license

You know that any software that requires a login or can update on its own can be bricked at a moment's notice if someone in legal or accounting changes their mind about the whole "perpetual" thing.

It doesn't auto update and you don't need to login. You can enter your key directly.
