EAP is closed now - first RC released. What about Trial For EAP AI licences? Will it be valid on new EAP builds?
Answered
Hi,
EAP is closed and RC version is released. Can I ask:
- When should we expect new EAP start?
- When new EAP started - will I be able to use my existing Trial For EAP AI license (still not expired yet)? Trial for EAP can't be used on RC build, will it be possible to use on new EAP after it starts?
My license is valid through May 31, will it be valid for new EAP builds (I guess - 2026.2 line?). My licence is still valid with latest Beta build, but not with RC build. Will it be valid with next EAP line (if not expired)?

Hello Emsoft1
Thanks for your interest in the EAP program. There isn't yet a specific schedule for the new EAP release. However, to know when a new EAP starts, you could check IntelliJ IDEA EAP page, and social channels.
Regarding the AI trial, this is tied to the EAP version, and it's available period. Once the EAP ends, the trial ends as well. Anyway, once a major EAP is released, you can request a trial license for the AI Assistant, valid for 90 days or until the program finishes, whichever comes first.
The AI trial license is tied to the major version (e.g., the “2027.x” line) and to EAP builds of that line, not to any RC, or future EAP line.
I hope this solves the doubts. Have a good day!!
Hi,
Thanks for response. Please confirm: next EAP line will allow to request trial again for Jetbrains AI with the same rules? Or, that's not confirmed yet?
Hi Emsoft1
By now, the rules are the same for the next EAP line, 2027.x, and you'll be able to apply again for the AI trial license. Also, it'll be better to take a look at the rules a bit before the line goes out, so you're sure they're still the same.
Have a great day!
Hi,
That license - 3 months AI Trial for EAP - is it actually mentioned anywhere on your website or blog? There were 2 different trials for AI: 1 month AI trial and 3 months AI Trial for EAP. First one applies to any version.
Hi Emsoft1
The trial license is available starting with version 2024.2.1. Please check the List of IDE license types eligible for a trial section for more details.
From 2025.1 and later, after the trial period, Free AI is available. You can find more information about the AI trial license at the Pricing and Plans FAQ.
Regarding the trial period for EAP versions, there's no specification in the documentation, as the period may change depending on the EAP release and internal reviews.
