About JetBrains License Server
JetBrains License Server is a web application that enables license administration across a single network. The Server issues and revokes license tickets to/from network clients based on properties of license keys that are provided by JetBrains after purchase, and allows a customer to use a product concurrently by the number of users corresponding with the number of per-user license keys run by License Server.
License Server serves as a central point for distribution of licenses among multiple users and client machines in a network environment. It supports the following JetBrains products:
- IntelliJ IDEA 7.0 or higher (only Commercial licenses). (A License Server-compatible build of IntelliJ IDEA 6.0 is available upon request.)
- ReSharper 3.1 or higher (only Commercial licenses).
- ReSharper Cpp 1.0 or higher
- dotTrace 5.5 or higher (only Commercial licenses). (Floating licenses are supported starting from dotTrace 3.1).
- dotMemory 4.0 or higher (only Floating Commercial licenses).
- dotCover 1.0 or higher.
- RubyMine 1.0 or higher.
- PyCharm 1.0 or higher.
- WebStorm 1.0 or higher
- PhpStorm 1.0 or higher
- AppCode 1.0 or higher
CLion 1.0 or higher
Tip You can have earlier versions of these products in your network, but you can't manage them using License Server.

{HTMLcomment:hidden}License Server issues and revokes license tickets to/from network clients based on properties of license keys that are provided by JetBrains after purchase. License Server supports the following two types of license keys: |
• Single-user license key that allows a customer to access a product by a specific number of concurrent users corresponding with the number of purchased license keys run by the License Server.
• Multi-user license key that allows a customer to access a product by unlimited number of concurrent users pursuant to a separate license agreement with JetBrains. The agreement implies regular monitoring of the concurrent product usage and providing quarterly usage reports to JetBrains for the purpose of license "true-up".
If you have obtained a number of single-user license keys, you can download License Server and start using it right away, without requesting additional access permissions.
If you are interested in a multi-user license key, please contact sales for information on licensing terms.
* *Standard (commercial) per\- user license key*. License Server allows a customer to use a product concurrently by _the number of users corresponding with the number of per-user license keys_ run by License Server;
* *True-up license key.* License Server allows a customer to use a product concurrently by _multiple users with a single true-up license key_ run by License Server. If you are interested in more details on the true-up license model, please [contact sales|http://www.jetbrains.com/company/contacts/].
