Licensing and Upgrade
Who qualifies
Floating Licenses are available to legal entities, including companies and organizations (both for-profit and non-profit), which require the software for general commercial use. Floating Licenses allow the use of the software on any computer, operating system, and by any developer within a legal entity in compliance with the total number of Floating Licenses purchased. Floating Licenses require a license server to run the software.
Alternatively, Per-Developer Licenses are available to legal entities. For information about the differences between the Floating and Per-Developer Licenses, please see the comparison matrix.
License Terms
Per-concurrent-user model
A number of purchased licenses enable a legal entity to use the software by the corresponding number of developers at a time. Compliance with the permitted number of concurrent users is ensured by the license server.
Cross-platform compatibility
A single license allows the non-concurrent use of the software on different operating systems.
Perpetual ownership
A license is perpetual for the purchased version of the software. Upgrades are optional and provided pursuant to the IntelliJ IDEA maintenance terms. Each subsequent upgrade automatically terminates the rights of use of the previous versions.
Non-transferable restriction
Use of the software is restricted to a licensed legal entity. No right is granted to transfer the software to third parties.
For complete details, please check our standard Floating License Agreement.
