Works fine with PHPStorm 2023.2.3

Does it work for rider as well?

Does it work for rider as well?

Yes, it does. It does however reset plugins/settings you have installed.

Webstorm 2023 still working. Haha

Its working WebStorm 2023.3.2

Its working WebStorm 2023.3.2

Really? i tried but nothing happened.

As of 2024 works for Ryder wtf? 😂

do i need to activate it while trial is still active or can i do this after trial period ended?

You can do it after it has ended.

You DO NOT need to use any script. Just click the trial button after your trial ends. Works for me (2024.03.02)

@DTHRT
Doesn't work. After clicking "Start trial" It says "Existing trial license for Rider 2023.3 is expired"

p.s. It worked when I logged out of my account.

I think the way Jetbrains handle trial licenses, has changed guys, so i don't think this would even work again.

This still works for me for Rider as of 27/03/24. If you guys are not being able to do this to work you're probably doing something wrong

1. Open jetbrains software and start the trial
2. Use the trail up to a point that you wan't to reset it
3. Back up your settings and plugins. I don't remember the exact folder but you can find it quickly with a google search
4. Run this script as a .bat
5. Open jetbrains software and start trial
6. Repeat

@PRSouzaFM thank you for the good tutorial! But I would like to add, that for me it works even in a simpler way:

1. Open JetBrains software (do not login to your jetbrains account, but you can login to your GitHub account)
2. Start trial
3. When a trial ends, click the trial button again.

So even no need to erase your settings data or plugins.

It still works for me, and my friend mentioned that JetBrains probably introduced this feature intentionally because it didn't function like this previously.

@DTHRT Thanks for the tip. My IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate trial expired today and when I started it again, for some reason it worked. 🥳

Guess it's not a bug, but a feature. 😄

Open the terminal and copy past following code

for product in IntelliJIdea WebStorm DataGrip PhpStorm CLion PyCharm GoLand RubyMine Rider; 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

Doesn't work for me anymore (windows) for Pycharm. If you found solution, please share

Yes it does work. I have just tried it in windows for Rider in the newest version
You are doing something wrong

I am trying to do so for Pycharm. I manually tried deleting in

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft
• "%APPDATA%\JetBrains"

PyCharm doesn't have a folder here: "%USERPROFILE%/PyCharm

Are you trying to run the script or deleting manually?

In the P e r m a n e n t U s e r I d file in Appdata Roaming JetBrains you must the last letter change

Maybe you need to rename JetBrainsClient233.11555.11 to another name as well

2024.04.14 not working anymore.

First line from the quote and deleting ...\config\options\other.xml and registry entry did the trick for me under Windows, Idea finally entered trial mode again.
Can confirm that the Trial button stopped working a couple of days ago.

Tks u, this still work on my IntelliJ 2023 👍

Hello,

Before:

1. Log out from your account in IDE (Press Left Shift double, then write Manage Licenses, it will open window, there will be your account in left bottom corner)
2. Close IDE
3. Create new email

Then:

1. Press Win + R and write there appdata
2. Go to Roaming -> JetBrains
3. There will be file called PermanentUserId
4. Open it and change last letter to something

After this:

1. Go to "\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\WebStorm2023.3\options\other.xml"
2. Delete other.xml

Finally:

1. Open IDE and Log in via new email
2. Press trial on all you want
3. Enjoy

UPD: maybe I misread your problem but anyway this instruction can be useful for someone
