Hi there,

 

I'm running PyCharm 2017.1.1 in perpetual license on macOS High Sierra 10.13.5

I'm trying to update PyCharm following this post https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/keep-product-up-to-date.html

I skipped all version up to 2017.1.2 which offers me Update&Restart option. But the update fails with message.

Failed to prepare an update: Cannot download 'https://download.jetbrains.com/python/PY-171.4163.6-171.4249.47-patch-mac.jar': Status: 403

If I try to open the link in browser it says access denied. I restarted OS but it changed nothing.

Thanks for any help!

Hi, I think the patch was already removed from the server. Please install the desired version manually from https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/previous.html The settings are stored separately from the installation itself so they should not be affected.

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for your help. I can get the updated version following your link but once installed I can't activate it anymore. "License expired" which is true, but I have perpetual fallback license. 

If I understood correctly this explanation:

https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What-is-a-perpetual-fallback-license-

I should be able to use any 2017.1.X version available, isn't?

 

Thanks

Please ignore my previous message. I tried 2017.1.2 which I had a problem licensing but after installing 2017.1.8 all worked well.

Thanks!
