Are you still looking for IntelliJ IDEA activation codes all over the world?
Cracking is not stable and illegal. It is not necessarily a security risk. It is not recommended to use patches from unknown sources.
Today the stack leader will share 6 ways to get IntelliJ IDEA for free, there is always one that suits you, let’s take a look at the formal ways! !
1. Free for students and teachers
Students and teachers (high schools, universities) can use all JetBrains IDEs for free, only for personal non-commercial use at school or at home.
Application entrance:
Educational mailboxes are more commonly used. This registration is more convenient and cannot be verified as a student. Therefore, many programmers in China pretend to be students and use the educational mailbox to register to obtain the activation code. This is also one of the limited formal ways to obtain a license.
This application is one year, if you are still a student, you can renew it.
In addition, from the application page, you can also apply for student ID, official documents, Github, etc.
2. Free for educational institutions
Universities, colleges, schools, and non-commercial educational institutions can be eligible for a free license, limited to the installation and use of all JetBrains tools in classrooms and computer laboratories, and only for educational purposes.
To put it bluntly, it can only be used in the classroom, not for personal or commercial use.
Application entrance:
This application is one year off and can be renewed.
So, can training institutions work? No way! Look down!
3. Free for training institutions
Training institutions and training camps can apply for 100% discount coupons for their students, allowing them to use them for free for up to 6 months during the course, and a 25% discount on expired renewals.
Only for personal use, only for any one of JetBrains tools.
Application entrance:
In addition, as shown in the figure below, the computer laboratory of training institutions can also be used for free.
Application entrance:
4. Open source projects are free
Non-commercial open source projects can obtain free licenses for all JetBrains tools, provided that the project needs to meet the requirements of the support plan:
1) Meet the requirements of open source;
2) Under development, and new code has been submitted within the last 3 months, which means that this open source project must be maintained for three months;
3) No paid version of open source code is provided, nor any commercial services surrounding open source projects;
4) Is not issued by a commercial company or institution;
5) No payment to open source project developers;
This license is only for open source projects and is only available to the creators and core developers of open source projects, so if you have an open source project for three months and it has been maintained recently, apply immediately.
Application entrance:
That's right, the stack leader is the one-year free use right that was applied for through the following Spring Boot actual open source project.
After one year, if the project is still maintained, you can continue to apply.
This is of more practical value. Later, I will write a detailed tutorial on how to use open source projects to apply for a free activation code, and pay attention to the public account Java technology stack for the first time.
5. Great God is free
The following great gods can use all JetBrains products for free:
MVP / ASPInsider / Java Champion / Docker Captain / Google Developers Expert.
Application entrance:
What I want to say is that they are already so awesome, do you need to worry about tools?
6. Free for communities/organizations
Organizers of active communities/organizations can obtain free licenses for JetBrains products. According to the frequency of events, licenses are issued every 1 to 3 months, and the number is also limited.
- 30-50 participants/each activity: 1 free license;
- 50-100 participants/each event: 2 free licenses;
- 100+ participants/each event: 3 free licenses;
Application entrance:
to sum up
This article summarizes 6 ways to get IntelliJ IDEA for free. You can get a license through students, teachers, educational institutions, open source projects, community activities, etc. There is always one suitable for you according to your identity.
Of course, if none of the above is allowed, it is a pity that it is very fragrant to get a genuine one if conditions permit. It is not very expensive. Time is also money. Don't waste time looking for the activation code. It will be terrible at critical moments.
If you feel rewarded, share it with your friends and don't make detours. Give me the support of watching and forwarding~
