Upgrade to CE 2020.1 Failed with HTTP 403
Answered
I clicked to upgrade to IntelliJ 2020.1 within the IDE on Windows 10 but it failed with HTTP 403. The error message in the log file was,
com.intellij.util.io.HttpRequests$HttpStatusException: Request failed with status code 403. Status=403, Ul=https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/IC-193.6911.18-201.6668.121-patch-win.jar
Please advise. Thanks

Are you running IDE under 1.8 JDK? Since 2020.1 IDE does no longer support 1.8 JDK as IDE runtime JDK, so the patch update for distributions with 1.8 JDK are not provided now. We recommend downloading distributions with 11 JBR from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download
As far as the About dialog, it showed JBR 11. I remember I used JDK 8 during installation and changed it to JBR 11 using the plugin Choose Runtime plugin from the Marketplace. Maybe, I should install with JBR 11 from day 1
For patch matters what Java runtime is bundled there in IDE installation, not just which Runtime is used, particularly IDE checks the jbr\release file inside IDE installation home.
