Hello Mayureshkumbhar
With the new unified release, we want our users to have an easy way to try features provided by the subscription. To achieve this, we have designed a single entry point to learn about and try these features.
The trial is completely free and anonymous, no commitments there. The Ultimate subscription trial will automatically conclude after 30 days. If you wish to end it sooner, you can do that through the Help | Manage Subscription dialog. The widget becomes gray, not interfering with the actual coding experience.
Advanced features will be disabled, but all core functionality for Java and Kotlin development remains free.
So, for the moment, there is no way to hide the button, but you are welcome to vote for the request to remove it: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-222323
For more Unified edition details please see this blog post.
This is infuriating - this marketing strategy will lure away many of your long users. I know very well where I can find the “paid” version of your program, as well as I know how useless it is for my needs, and I don't really need you pushing this marketing trick into my face each time I open the IDE. I'll be downgrading to the previous version, and I strongly advise that anyone who has any respect for himself do the same. This crooked marketing scheme must stop.
Although they don't even let now even download the old community versions - all the versions in the “other versions” are pro or the new ones with this advertisement banner. But here are direct links to CE for all the platforms:
Linux:
download-cdn.jetbrains.com/python/pycharm-community-2024.2.6.tar.gz
Windows:
download-cdn.jetbrains.com/python/pycharm-community-2024.2.6.exe
MAC:
Intel:
download-cdn.jetbrains.com/python/pycharm-community-2024.2.6.dmg
Apple silicon:
download-cdn.jetbrains.com/python/pycharm-community-2024.2.6-aarch64.dmg
I know what the Pro version provides. I used it and was paying for it. Now I'm doing pure Java, so I no longer need it. It's subscription, and it's not cheap. This is very annoying, but I grew to ignore it as a screen noise.

Much love for the Hide Trial plugin tip. Worked like a champ.
