Reset all JetBrains products trial in Linux

In some cases, only these lines will work

for product in IntelliJIdea WebStorm DataGrip PhpStorm CLion PyCharm GoLand RubyMine; do
    rm -rf ~/.config/$product*/eval 2> /dev/null
    rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/$product*/eval 2> /dev/null
done

But if not, try these

for product in IntelliJIdea WebStorm DataGrip PhpStorm CLion PyCharm GoLand RubyMine; do
    echo "[+] Resetting trial period for $product"

    echo "[+] Removing Evaluation Key..."
    rm -rf ~/.config/$product*/eval 2> /dev/null

    # Above path not working on latest version, Fixed below
    rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/$product*/eval 2> /dev/null

    echo "[+] Removing all evlsprt properties in options.xml..."
    sed -i 's/evlsprt//' ~/.config/$product*/options/other.xml 2> /dev/null

    # Above path not working on latest version, Fixed below
    sed -i 's/evlsprt//' ~/.config/JetBrains/$product*/options/other.xml 2> /dev/null

    echo
done

echo "Removing userPrefs files..."
rm -rf ~/.java/.userPrefs 2> /dev/null

If not works on Mac OS, then run the following code:

rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.util.prefs.plist

Don’t know how to get it working on Mac since I only use Linux, so you would wait for updates from the community.

@mohamedmoussasoli , @leitge and @mantegnous

To make it works on Mac OS, run the following code:

rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.util.prefs.plist

Please let me know if it works for you guys

@zahedul have you tried this command:

rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.util.prefs.plist

Doesn't work for me on Mac OS, unfortunately. Even your last suggestion, @h3ssan.

It finally worked after I:

  • Closed IntelliJ
  • Cleared browser cache
  • Restarted the Mac
  • Deleted the files again

In my case I believe these are the lines that mattered:

rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.util.prefs.plist
sed -i '' 's/evlsprt//' ~/Library/Application\ Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2024.1/options/other.xml 2> /dev/null
