Check your license status

[izhangzhihao]

In this article, I will guide you on how to check the status of your license and what actions to take if your license is not activated.

If you encounter any issues with license activation, this article will provide you with the necessary steps to troubleshoot the problem.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your license is up-to-date and that you can continue to use your software without any interruptions. (You must have version 2023.2.8 or above)

You can check the license under Settings/Preferences > Other Settings > Rainbow Brackets > : Scroll to the bottom of the setting page.

• In a normal situation, you will see:

• Or you may didn't have a valid license yet, you will see:

• Or you may in a trial, you might see:

• Or you do have a valid license, but the IDE is hasn't realized yet

You can wait a minute or refresh your license: #2603 (comment)

• If you see the below message, means that you might be using a cracked version of this plugin or IDE.

• If you want to delete the ja-netfilter, pls follow:
  in search everywhere, input vmoptions click on, edit/delete ja netfilter related info, save the file, and restart.

• refresh your license status:

这个情况意味着不能使用其他软件破解的idea了。必须使用自己激活idea才能激活Rainbow插件？

[izhangzhihao]

是的，IDE 被破解往往也意味着插件被破解，所以如果 IDE 都被破解了，插件是不会认为自己被真正激活了。

[izhangzhihao]

针对你这种情况，建议优先使用社区版或者 EAP 版本等不需要 license 的 IDE。

idea没有破解并且已经订阅了，但是还是显示我是破解的状态。可能是因为我的pycharm是破解的，然后我把pycharm卸载了，破解工具也卸载了，rawbow插件卸载后又重新下载，还是显示我是破解的，不知道你们是怎么检测是否破解的。我现在订阅了一个月插件但是却不能使用付费功能。

可以邮件我 license 状态截图，和你的插件列表和你的 vmoptions 吗

Or you may installed another plugin built by cracker, pls check #2696

这种情况是什么问题呢？
我激活了但是始终不生效，我购买的的 lifetime license

[izhangzhihao]

这种情况可能是 IDE 刚刚启动，license 还未初始化结束，如果是这个原因就等待一会儿就行了。
还可能是 IDE 正在进行indexing， 需要等待index 结束编辑器才会刷新，这种情况可以观察 IDE 右下角的task是否结束了，结束后可以关闭当前文件再重新打开以实现手动刷新的目的试试看。
如果还是不行，可以邮件给我你的 idea log。

Using IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1 (ultimate) on a company license. Rainbow brackets license page now looks like:

I have a Personal License that should be valid through 16 June 2024 - this license I bought with my JetBrains account but activated in the company-licensed instance of IntelliJ. It used to work fine (activated Rainbow Brackets, the paid features could be selected, and they worked. I actually don't know when it stopped working, but as you can see, IntelliJ now thinks there is no valid license.

I cannot find where to find the "refresh license list" button mentioned above.

Also, if I click, in the PDF of the license itself, the link to "proceed with software activation" (which points to somewhere under account.jetbrains.com/order/assets I see the following from JetBrains:

How to proceed? Thank you!

No special actions are required.The paid version of Rainbow Brackets can be used with the trial version of WebStorm IDE, as long as your IDE is not illegally cracked.
