Apache Open Source License

Welcome, Apache Software Foundation developers.

JetBrains has always been supportive of non-commercial software development. We are pleased to provide FREE license keys for our industry leading Java IDE, IntelliJ IDEA for developers of Open Source projects. This page explains how Apache developers can obtain a free license.

Since Apache developers are often involved in several projects concurrently, JetBrains will provide licenses for individual Apache developers, rather than on a project basis as we normally do for other Open Source projects. (Thanks to Henri Yandell for this suggestion).

How to request a free license

To request your free IntelliJ IDEA license, please send an e-mail from your e-mail account at apache.org to Ilia Dumov.

You’ll receive a reply at your apache.org address with a link to a web page where you can confirm your details. After your confirmation, you'll receive your license key by e-mail within 2 business days.

That’s it! We look forward to your participation in our Open Source initiative and thank you for your interest in IntelliJ IDEA.
