Enter license key for Ultimate from console
Answered
Hi,
How do I install a license for IntelliJ on a headless machine?
i.e. if I purchase a license key, how can I register an IntelliJ Ultimate installation without the UI?
I'd need to do it via command line, by placing a file in a directory, etc. - the machine doesn't have Gnome installed, so I can't launch IntelliJ itself.
As for why: I want to periodically run inspect.sh to pick up any issues I've missed in the IDE

There is no easy way to do it as the license token is stored in the Java Registry and is encrypted.
I can suggest using the license server and automatic registration from the server via the JETBRAINS_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/license_server/configure_automatic_server_discovery.html?section=Linux%2FMac%20OS .
Thanks Serge; I appreciate the prompt feedback.
