It would appear that a regular non-student license would be needed for such use. It is hard to see how any development intended as an eventual commercial product would be covered under such a license term.

This would seem to confirm what the FAQ quoted above says. JetBrains grants You a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use each Product covered by the Toolbox Subscription for non-commercial, educational purposes only (including conducting academic research or providing educational services). Section 3.1 of the license says, in relevant part: But it seems reasonably clear that this is not what the company has in mind.Īnother user has pointed out a link to the actual license terms which I failed to note. If work is done on a student project, and after a non-student license is purchased that project is commercialized, would the license have been violated, and if so, would the company be likely to sue? The fist question cannot be answered without the full text of the license, and the second would require reading the minds of the company officials. Since then, Im trying to renew my license by clicking on 'Renew my Education Pack' but without success.

My last license has expired on 9th of October.

But the FAQ says:įree educational licenses can be used strictly for non-commercial educational purposes (including academic research).Įxactly how this company defines "non-commercial educational purposes" is not stated. My faculty ( Babes-Bolyai, Romania) has licenses for students for IDEA products. The full text of the license is not included on the page you link to, or on any linked page that I checked.
