Assigning licenses to users
This article explains how to assign available licenses to users. If there are no unused licenses in your account, you can revoke a license from an existing user and assign it to another one.
Assigning licenses manually
If you need to assign a few licenses to specific users, you can do it manually.
Log in to JetBrains Console.
In the sidebar under Licensing select Licenses.
Use the filters at the top of the page to find available licenses.
Find an available one and click Assign next to it.
In the dialog that pops up, enter the user's email address and name, and then click Assign.
The user will see the license in their personal JetBrains Account and can use it to activate their JetBrains product.
Log in to JetBrains Console.
In the sidebar under Licensing select Teams.
In the list of teams, select the team that your unassigned licenses belong to.
Click View licenses under the total number of licenses.
Use the filters at the top of the page to find available licenses.
Find an available one and click Assign next to it.
In the dialog that pops up, enter the user's email address and name, and then click Assign.
The user will see the license in their personal JetBrains Account and can use it to activate their JetBrains product.
Assigning licenses with bulk invitations
To quickly distribute multiple licenses to your entire team, use the bulk sharing option. It allows you to share an invitation link with your team members and let them claim the available licenses.
Log in to JetBrains Console.
Click Teams in the menu on the left.
Select the team that your licenses belong to. If you're not sure which team that is, follow these instructions to find out.
In the menu on the left, click Invitations and then click Create Invitation.
In the dialog that pops up, select the product that you want to create an invitation for.
Optionally, you can:
Enter the name of the invitation for future reference.
Specify how long your invitation link will remain active.
Restrict access to this invitation to users with specific email domains.
Once you're done, click Create. On the invitation page, copy the invitation link and send it to your users.
That's it – your part is done! Your team members can now claim the licenses using their JetBrains Accounts.
You'll receive an email notification each time a user successfully obtains a license. At the bottom of the invitation page in the Accepted invitations section, you'll see the list of users that have obtained licenses using this particular invitation link.
Assigning licenses from a license certificate email
You can assign recently purchased licenses to users directly from the license certificate email you received upon completing the purchase. You can choose between bulk sharing and manual license-by-license assignment.
Open your license certificate email and click the software activation link.
You can also find the link in the PDF license certificate attached to the email.
This will take you to the license assignment page, where you can find the invitation link. Click Copy link to save it to the clipboard.
Share the invitation link with your team in any way you prefer, such as by email or via a messaging app.
And that's it – your part is done! Your team members can now claim licenses. The process is outlined in the next section.
While users are claiming licenses, we recommend that you take a moment to create an account in JetBrains Console. This will allow you to assign and revoke your licenses after the software activation link in the email has expired.
If you prefer to assign licenses one by one rather than share them in bulk, follow the instructions below.
Open your license certificate email and click the software activation link.
You can also find the link in the PDF license certificate attached to the email.
On the license assignment page, click the Licenses tab to see the list of licenses in your order. Consult the Assigned to column to check which licenses are available and which are already taken by users.
To assign a license to a new user, find an available one and click Assign next to it.
In the dialog that pops up, enter the user's email address and name, and then click Assign.
That's it – your part is done! Your team members can now claim the licenses using their JetBrains Accounts.
While users are claiming licenses, we recommend that you take a moment to create an account in JetBrains Console. This will allow you to assign and revoke your licenses after the software activation link in the email has expired.
Create an account in JetBrains Console to manage licenses
If you don't already have an account, you can create it on the license assignment page by clicking the Get a JetBrains Account link at the top.
In the dialog that pops up, enter your email address. Make sure you use the same email address to which the license certificate was delivered. Otherwise, you'll have to request permission from the original order recipient to manage the licenses.
Once you've entered your email, click Create JetBrains Account and check your inbox for further instructions.
Find the team to which your licenses belong
Normally, you specify a team for new licenses at checkout. It can be an existing team or a new one. If you made a purchase without specifying the team, you'll find your licenses in an automatically created team named after the order reference number.
If you’re not sure which team to look for, start from the license view.
Log in to JetBrains Console.
In the sidebar under Licensing select Products and services.
Find the product that you want to assign to users and then click Active subscriptions.
You'll find the team's name in the Team column of the license table.
