If I understand correctly, in the hypothetical scenario the instructor will need to requisition $800 for eight licenses. Let’s say, hypothetically, that a class at Wayne State University that is to use Sublime has ten students and will meet in a computer lab with a dozen computers. You may purchase the lesser of either: 1) the number of computers that will have Sublime Text installed or 2) the number of students who will be using Sublime Text. If you would like to purchase Sublime Text for use in a computer lab, it is not necessary to have the number of licenses equal to the number of students. However, for educational institutions, it is stipulated that Sublime still doesn’t offer site licenses, nor educational discounts. The Sublime registration fee explains only my decision to remove Sublime, not my decision of what to replace it with, since there are free text editors besides Brackets available. Brackets is free, it only costs you the electricity and Internet connection to download it. I couldn’t imagine the bean counters there shelling out for Sublime licenses. That’s why I removed Sublime from the computers at this place I was working at, and replaced it with Brackets. If I ever write a program like that, I will expect the users to pay me. That’s no excuse to keep using the program like you never intend to pay the registration fee. Maybe you can’t afford it right now, and I’ve definitely been there. But if you keep using it after a few weeks, I think you need to admit that you’ve fallen in love with it and you should buy it. The Sublime trial period can theoretically be anything from a few seconds to a few years. Once I changed the garish color scheme on a black background to something a bit easier on my aging eyes, I did start liking it. Sublime is marketed as the text editor you’ll fall in love with. But if I ever decide to move up from Notepad, I’d more likely go with Brackets than Sublime Text. It comes free with the Windows operating system, and since I have a legit Windows installation, I have a legit copy of Notepad.įor the time being, I will continue to use Notepad for most of my Web pages. To write HTML, I mostly use Notepad on Windows. Depending on your needs, Adobe Brackets might be the best option. These days, there are many different options for writing HTML source.
