A loop trouble with a student license

So for my course, i've been given instructions: You can also get IntelliJ Ultimate for free through the JetBrains Education programme6 – all you need to do is verify your university email address, however this is optional.

When I apply, i get "If you would like to renew your Student License, please use the dedicated link in your JetBrains Account, or check the email reminder we send out one week before your license expires for the same link", so i click on link and it says u have no license… so i click on “Apply for a free student or teacher license for educational purposes”, it takes me to applying for it but AGAIN i get "If you would like to renew your Student License, please use the dedicated link in your JetBrains Account, or check the email reminder we send out one week before your license expires for the same link", help please.
