License Vault

Automatic license allocation and release

License Vault component automatically distributes JetBrains licenses within your organization. All a user needs to do is launch their JetBrains tool, enter the IDE Services URL, and log in.

Licenses that are no longer in use are automatically released after 3 days. To transfer licenses more quickly, you can enable Floating mode, which releases unused licenses after just 20 minutes.

Floating mode

Floating mode helps maximize license utilization by quickly transferring licenses between users. With this feature, when a team member stops using their IDE, their license becomes available for someone else in 20 minutes. For more details refer to Floating licenses.

License revocation

An IDE Services administrator can revoke licenses from users manually or via the API to make them available to other team members.

Depending on your billing model and settings, you might have a monthly limit on manual revocations.

Customizable per-user licensing

When a user runs their product on two different machines simultaneously, only one license is required.

You can choose how IDE Services handles each additional machine. Three options are available:

• Allocate New – IDE Services allocates an additional license for this user. This is the default behavior.

• Take Oldest Out – IDE Services revokes the license from the machine that hasn't been in use the longest and transfers it to the new machine.

• Prohibited – IDE Services doesn't allow users to run JetBrains products on more than two machines at a time.

Access rules

With access rules, you can restrict or provide access to licenses for certain users or groups. You can also prioritize users who need to be able to obtain a license, even when none are available.

Real-time statistics

Built-in usage statistics and reports can help you analyze and optimize license usage in your organization.
