@rjescobar @azatsh Can you provide a linux script please ? i'm also using intellij 2026

READ FIRST! i released a trail reset for jetbrains on linux, and shared on serveral gist, but i got a DMCA warning from JETBRAINS THEM SELF!!!!

But well it indicates it works and is indicated a threat by jetbrains themself lol

i have a trial reset tool for linux that can reset the trial while keeping all extension settings and so on. i could share, but not here. Since i already got one DMCA.

Also notice that anything hosted and shared on git hub is instantly taken down. So do not bother.

i can send a proof video that this tool i made works. otherwise they would ofc not DMCA me ;)

why i share it? because i do not find it ilegal to modify some of the users files and some other stuff to reset shitty trial software, and most certainly not becuase x company should decide what kind of instructions my cpu execute for a device i have worked and payed for.

@aamaanaa

I am using it for non commercial projects, just open source, so i don’t think that’s illegal. I also just find it difficult to get a license from jetbrains for free, so I didn’t bother asking and just used a trial resetter.

If you’d like please, you can share the linux script here for like 24h and then remove it, I will stay alert and copy it asap, cuz i don’t see any messaging feature in github.

thanks

I have tested it with Ubuntu and the latest PhpStorm.
