Illuminated Cloud 1 is licensed under a perpetual licensing model and includes all updates within the 1.x major version family at no additional cost. Each purchased license key may be assigned to exactly one user. By default each license key may be activated on up to two workstations—typically for work and home use—but additional activations are available by request as long as they are used by only the single associated user. License keys may be reassigned at the owner's discretion as long as no sharing of license keys occurs. For additional details, consult the Terms and Conditions document provided below.
License keys can be activated within IntelliJ IDEA:
Illuminated Cloud > Configure Application > About tab > Enter License Key... or Offline activation... if the workstation has limited network connectivity.
Enter the license key that was received in email and Illuminated Cloud will be activated. Note that the license is associated with the machine on which it was activated and must be deactivated before the license can be used on another machine. License deactivation can be performed in the same settings location, or you may contact Support to have a license deactivated for you if you no longer have access to the machine on which it was activated.
As of January 1, 2018, Illuminated Cloud 1 is no longer available for purchase. Please see the licensing and purchasing details for Illuminated Cloud 2.
