How do I remove my IntelliJ license in 2019.3?

问题:

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:

To remove the license key:

1. Find the IntelliJ configuration directory
2. Find the .key license file
3. 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

To reset key on Windows delete those files

1. C:\Users\<username>\.IntelliJIdea<version>\config\eval\idea<version>.key

2. C:\Users\<username>\.IntelliJIdea<version>\config\option\other.xml

3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft (in registry editor)

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....

I think there are more solutions!

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

1. 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*.
2. 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.
3. 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.

For IntelliJIdea10 in Windows 7

1. locate the folder .IntelliJIdea10
2. move the location .IntelliJIdea10\config\eval
3. remove the file idea6.evaluation.key

回答7:

For version 2019.3.3 on Windows:

Delete files in 'C:\Users{user}.IntelliJIdea{idea-version}\config\eval' directory.

That should do it.

Otherwise you also have information about evaluation and machine id in the following locations:

• File 'C:\Users{user}.IntelliJIdea{idea-version}\config\options\other.xml' -> all properties that start with 'evlsprt*'
• Registry 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs' with key '/Jet/Brains./User/Id/On/Machine'
• Registry 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\jetbrains'

As of 2020, Jetbrains moved ~/.IntelliJIdea* to ~/.config/JetBrains in Linux.

To reset IntelliJ IDEA 2020

Run the following commands in your terminal

• rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea*/eval
• sed -i '/evlsprt/d' ~/.config/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea*/options/other.xml
• rm -rf ~/.java/.userPrefs/jetbrains/idea

and this won't reset your settings.

Note: This method also works with other products like PyCharm, WebStorm, PhpStorm, Just replace IntelliJIdea with whatever the product you want to reset.
