How to use Local License Server 

  1. Install any product of JetBrains/IntelliJ
  2. Either direct run the license server on your own PC, or upload it to and run it on a (dedicated) server:
    • darwin - MacOSX ( x86, x64 )
    • freebsd - FreeBSD ( x86, x64, ARM)
    • linux - Linux ( x86, x64, ARM, ARM64 )
    • windows - Windows ( x86, x64 )
  3. Copy the corresponding binary file of the license server to a permanent directory, such as "C:\license-server\" or "/opt/license-server/"
  4. Then, on Windows:
    1. Run a CMD as administrator
    2. Enter the folder where you put the license server by using "cd" command
    3. Install the license server as a windows service (If you want to remove it, use "-mode uninstall" instead):
      • for x86: dvt-jb_licsrv.386.exe -mode install
      • for x64: dvt-jb_licsrv.amd64.exe -mode install
    4. Run "services.msc" and start the service. Alternatively, use "net start" command instead, or just restart your PC/serve
  5. On Unix-like OS:
    1. Enter the folder where you put the license server
    2. Install a new service by executing the binary file either as root or using the following command (platform = your OS; arch = your system architecture; to uninstall, use "-mode uninstall" instead):
      • sudo: dvt-jb_licsrv.[platform].[arch] -mode install
    3. Start this service using your standard service tools
  6. Launch your JetBrains/IntelliJ application, and use your own license server to license all clients on any platforms.
Notes: If you are running the license server on the same host, you should use "http://127.0.0.1:1337" as license server instead. Otherwise, use the IP address or hostname of your license server.
