I live in command line most of the time, but Sublime Text is always my default editor to open any text files in a GUI file manager on any operating system.

When it notified me about the version 4 license change, I was ready to make the purchase. However, it has been a while since then and, besides the "LICENSE UPGRADE REQUIRED" text on the top right corner, I still can't notice any restriction. The current installation still has my license purchased for v2 applied. I just upgraded to build 4126 today and it worked fine. Am I misunderstanding the licensing terms or is this a bug?

There are no restrictions, and you're free to evaluate the software for however long you need.

You're expected to purchase a license if you continue to use the software.

They're just asking nicely instead of crippling their software after an arbitrary time limit.
