echo "Activated succesfull"

is there any update for latest version 2025.1.XX.XX. i tried all above but not work

Hey @XGilmar ! I still have the .jar file you shared earlier, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work anymore with versions after 2025.1.X.X — it just won’t activate again. Do you happen to have a fix for this? If so, I’d really appreciate your help. Thanks so much for all the support given to the community!!

The repo was taking down. @XGilmar maybe got sued lol

It's working. Thank you!

Hello, I just coded this plugin to reset eval trials, it can do it automatically every time you exit the IDE, or Reset via a button.
It's fully open source, feel free to build it yourself :)

I am attempting a counter DMCA atm, since I didn't use any copyrighted code. all I am doing is modifying a file in the users computer, I'll try to fight it. a user should be able to do what they please with their machine.

@smazhevskiy From where did you download Plugin? If any working link available?

@vsachinv delete PermanentDeviceId and PermanentUserId in %APPDATA%/Jetbrains

@Seres67 Thanks but I have installed in macbook. Would it be same steps?

@smazhevskiy From where did you download Plugin? If any working link available?

PyCharm & WebStorm from the official website

@smazhevskiy From where did you download Plugin? If any working link available?

The jar file is available from when the repo was still up. You can't access the source code now after the DMCA takedown.

@SamHoque Would you be able to share the source code somehow?
