Did Jetbrains change licencing collision detection in IntelliJ 2017.2?
Answered
I use multiple VMs (one for each customer) where I have installed IntelliJ in each. That used to work just fine since each VM is hibernated or IntelliJ is shutdown before the next is started but with IntelliJ 2017.2 I get popups of license collision. Not really a big deal as I can just activate the license on the machine I'm currently using, but still annoying.
Did Jetbrains change the way license collision is detected in 2017.2?
Anyone else seeing this?

There were no changes in this subsystem. Are you sure machines do not run at the same time?
Yes, I'm sure I've shutdown IntelliJ before switching to another machines or put the machine into hibernate.
Last time I got the popup it told me the IP of the other machine so I checked in the taskmanager (that machine is a Windows 8) and I couldn't find IntelliJ there. Perhaps there is a lingering process from IntelliJ with a name I didn't quite catch (there is a lot of JetBrains .Net stuff running there, for example Resharper and dotCover).
Yes, that could be a ReSharper or dotCover. A workaround would be to use the same user login name on all the machines.
Oh, so you're saying the IntelliJ license collides with the ReSharper license? That's an unexpected collision.
So what happens when I choose "deactive"? Is ReSharper disabled, because I couldn't see that... :-)
That is how all products pack license works. ReSharper should be deactivated.
