What IDEs and tools are included in the free student license?
You get access to the complete All Products Pack, which includes IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm Professional, CLion, WebStorm, PhpStorm, RubyMine, GoLand, Rider, DataGrip, ReSharper Ultimate, and all other JetBrains tools.
Do I need to be a computer science major to qualify?
No, the free license is available to full-time students at accredited institutions regardless of major. You just need to be enrolled in a program requiring at least one year of full-time study.
How do I renew my student license?
JetBrains sends an email reminder one week before your license expires with a renewal link. You'll need to re-verify your student status annually using the same methods (edu email, GitHub Student Pack, or ISIC/ITIC).
Can I use the student license for commercial projects?
No, the educational license is strictly for personal educational purposes only. Commercial use requires a paid commercial license.
What happens after I graduate?
You must stop using the free educational license once you're no longer a student. However, graduates are eligible for a 40% discount on personal subscriptions for up to 2 years after their free license expires.
Can I use official school documents to verify?
As of July 2024, official school documents are no longer accepted for new applications. You must use one of the automated verification methods: educational email, GitHub Student Developer Pack, or ISIC/ITIC card.
What if I don't have an .edu email address?
You can verify through the GitHub Student Developer Pack (which has its own verification process) or by using an ISIC/ITIC international student ID card.
