404 when trying to download 2025.3 EAP 1 CE, because of unification of CE and UE?
Answered
Hi all.
Great to here about the unification.
I just tried to download the 2025.3 EAP1 CE, but i only get a 404. Is this intended like this?
The UE is still asking for creating an account and login and is refusing to work without is.
Am i doing it wrong?

Can you share the link where you see the "2025.3 EAP1 CE" ?
To use products released under our EAP, you do not need a paid IDE subscription. You will, however, need a JetBrains Account (https://account.jetbrains.com/) in order to use EAP versions of our IDEs and .NET tools. For more details see: https://www.jetbrains.com/resources/eap/
I saw it here:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/articles/IDEA-A-2100662502/IntelliJ-IDEA-2025.3-Latest-Builds
BTW:
I always downloaded EAP versions of the CE from that location,
and i never was asked for accounts or logins.
The name of the file from your location was ‘idea-253.17525.95.tar.gz’
but when unpacked there is a folder inside named idea-IU-253.17525.95,
what looks like an UE.
Since 2025.3 the build is unified in one distribution. I could also confirm EAP can be used too with a valid license (can be automatically applied if there is another IDE with a license installed)
In case no login information can be inherited, JetBrains account login is required.
