Intellij idea evaluation reset linux

Article available in English

Ran out of trial period and you would like to have that period extended a little bit more, but you don’t feel like contacting the customer support, nor you don’t want to use a pirated copy either. What should you do? In this article, I will introduce a way to reset the trial period to its full duration from the beginning (30 days). As long as you reset the trial period when it begins to time out, you can virtually use the product in “trial state” for unlimited time! The tutorial was done on MacOS, but Window users should not have any problems finding a similar way to follow the tutorial (through the setting files in the hidden folder in Document folder and registry). You have to edit the host file too (to block the connection between the product and its server), but the pattern is the same for both OS. This reset trial guide should work with almost every standalone IDE of Jetbrain, such as IntelliJ Idea, PhpStorm, WebStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine. Let’s get our hand dirty!

1. Terminate your JetBrains application

2. Remove all *.key files in

/Library/Preferences/ /eval/ folder

They are here

3. Remove

/Library/Preferences/ /options/options.xml file

In the picture above, the options folder and eval folder are in the same parent folder.

Use an XML editor to remove the keys (I’m using XCode). Regular text editors don’t seem to be working. In the picture, the “JetbrainsUserIdOnMachine” and “JetBrains” nested key are the two to be removed.

6. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER (this is important since OS caches all the preferences. You have to restart OS for the new preferences to be fetched)

7. Block connections to JetBrains servers

Open your host file (in MacOS the host file is located at /etc/hosts ). Append these two rows to your host file

You can also use other applications to block your JetBrains product’s internet connection (note that the application you use must be able to block outgoing connections). In MacOS I’m using Little Snitch to do this job for me (you can use a demo version of Little Snitch because JetBrains products seem to only connect to their server the moment they are launched, no periodically initiated connections so the demo version will work fine). If you opt for using Little Snitch, the configuration might be tricky so I pasted my configuration here for you.

You only need to block access to jetbrains.com domain You can safely enable “Allow incoming connections” if you are using WebStorm/PhpStorm/IntelliJIdea… for remote debugging. Inside the “Deny outgoing connections” rule you can enable outgoing connections to your remote debug server The application is pretty anal about application code signature so you have to google things a little (the result is at the top of the first page so you should not have any troubles following the guide to tweak the setting to fit your needs).

8. Finally, run your JetBrains product, select Evaluate for free and enjoy your renewed trial period!

This article is not supposed to be used for pirating, but if you find yourself short of time and/or you cannot find any reasonable excuses to have the customer support extend the trial period for you, then this article can become a life-saver. When you finish with the trial and decide to purchase the product, wipe everything related to your JetBrains product from your computer just in case.

-> just a precision, I tryed the following for PyCharm2021 and I reset the trial period correctly
-> context : I’ve other folders in

/.java folder that I cannot delete

/.java/.userPrefs/jetbrains/prefs.xml the line that refers to jetbrains with a text editor
remove folder

/.java/.userPrefs/jetbrains
remove folder

/.config/JetBrains/$/eval/ where $[PRD] is Pycharm2021.1
remove file

/.config/JetBrains/$ /options/other.xml where $[PRD] is Pycharm2021.1

I think that this manipulation could work for another JetBrains product, I’ve not tested it on PhpStorm which I also installed on my PC

Just a note, I am using PhpStorm 2021.2 build PS-212.4745.100 (July 28, 2021), and resetting the trial period is not working even though I had the line ‘rm -rf

/.config/JetBrains/$*/pycharm.key’ to the original shell.
After a while (without doing anything), a window appears: Evaluation License Expired, this terminates the IDE and asks me to update online by purchasing a license.

Instead of PhpStorm, I use NetBeans to develop projects but it is not as conformable and easy as with PhpStorm.

well, it’s not working for me, I use to follow this instructions but now Datagrip ask me to log in to Jetbrains account. I updated to version IntelliJIdea2021.2. I thing i will have to do a downgrade and validate if it works.

You can’t perform that action at this time.

You signed in with another tab or window. Reload to refresh your session. You signed out in another tab or window. Reload to refresh your session.

How do I remove my IntelliJ license in 2019.3?

I have JetBrains IntelliJ installed, how do I remove the license settings? I can find the license details in Help > Register. menu but that does not allow me to remove license settings or to enter invalid data like a nonexisting license server.

Use case: I have a license server installed which is running out of licenses. I want to make sure that my machine does not take a seat if I ever happen to start IntelliJ.

I dont see remove Icon anywhere:

Moderator note: please don’t suggest how to crack the software or remove trial period limitation.

To remove the license key:

Find the IntelliJ configuration directory

Find the .key license file

Remove or rename the .key license file

In my case on a Windows 7 machine I could find this license key in C:\Users\you\.IntelliJIdea13\config\idea13.key

For Linux to reset current 30 days expiration license, you must run code:

For Windows : Using batch program.

Write this code in a text file and save it.

Now rename the file fileName.txt to fileName.bat

Close phpstorm if running. Disconnect internet. Then run the file. Open phpstorm again. If nothing goes wrong you will see the magic.

worst case : If phpstorm still shows «License Expired», at first uninstall and then apply the above technique.

Not sure about older versions, but in 2016.2 removing the .key file(s) didn’t work for me.

I’m using my JetBrains account and used the ‘Remove License’ button found at the bottom of the registration dialog. You can find this under the Help menu or from the startup dialog via Configure -> Manage License. .

in linux/ubuntu you can do, run following commands

I think there are more solutions!

You can start the app, and here are 3 things you can do:

If the app shows for the first time the «import settings» dialog and then the «create/open a project» dialog, you can click on Settings > Manage License. > Remove License , and that removes for all Jetbrains products*.

If you open products like IntelliJ IDEA and have projects currently active (like the app open automatically the all IDE without prompt), then click on File > Close Project , and follow the first step.

Inside any app of IntelliJ, click on Help > Register. > Remove license .

*In case you have a license for a pack of products. If not, you have to remove the license per product individually. Check the 3rd step.

I think it should work, just change «IntelliJIdea*» with you product name (looking at what name you folder has) in the line> cd %APPDATA%\JetBrains\yourProduct*
And change in this line too searching the registry for the correct key name> reg delete «HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\jetbrains\yourProduct» /f

Полное удаление Intellij IDEA или Вечный Триал

Одна из самых шикарных IDE для full-stack разработки — Intellij IDEA. Community версия бесплатна, и для разработки на Java/Android ее хватит за глаза. А если приходится писать на Python, PL/SQL, Groovy, JavaScript, и еще горсточке языков? Тут только Professional вариант, вот только он стоит денег, хоть он того и стоит. Конечно, для начала вам предлагается пробный период на месяц, в течении которого можно успеть по достоинству оценить эту IDE. Но что, если пробный период закончился, а денег на приобретение все еще нет?

Простая переустановка ничего не даст, удаление приложения и новая установка — тоже. Дело в том, что в системе есть несколько мест, где работающая среда разработки оставляет следы, и видимо в том числе относительно момента первого запуска. Удивительно, но где именно их искать, никто и не скрывает. Из этого следует вывод — удаляя приложение, удаляйте и эти остатки, не забывая предварительно экспортировать свои настройки (File -> Export Settings). После этого вновь установленная IDEA будет считать пробный период сначала. Вся процедура займет от силы 5 минут.

Итак, пройдемся по этим каталогам и удалим все каталоги и файлы, которые имеют в имени название компании и продукта (пример для MacOS):

Последовательность можно описать такой bash-командой:

Такой способ подойдет и к другим продуктам JetBrains.
