Installation/Licensing issues of IntelliJ IDEA on my Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS)
已回答
I currently use Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) as main OS because my Windows 11 crashed on WindowsRE. I mistakenly installed both the Ultimate and Community Editions on my PC, later on I installed ONLY the community edition through the terminal but it still appears to be the Ultimate edition (trial for 30 days). The trial period has expiered and now i've not encountered any problem my work (I'm still starting my Java journey). What should I do to install IntelliJ Community Edition on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 LTS?
Thanks.

Hi Nsaa19patrick , It should be fine. Starting from 2025.3, the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate edition and the community edition are merged into one unified edition – IntelliJ IDEA. And if you are the first time using it in your machine, you will get a 30-days trial license automatically when you first open the IDE.
When the license is expired, you can continue to use the free functions (which are formerly provided in the community edition) without any license. If you feel like blocked by some functions which belong to the Ultimate part, then you can purchase a new IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate license.
Hi, The Ultimate Edition files are still installed, so the Community Edition is picking them up. I'd completely ebtEDGE login remove !
Amelia854taylor, it sounds like the Community Edition is reusing files from your previous Ultimate installation. Before uninstalling anything, you may want to back up your IDE settings if you've customized them or want to keep your configuration.
Then, completely uninstall IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and reinstall Community Edition. The exact uninstall steps depend on how Ultimate was originally installed.
Once Ultimate is fully removed, Community Edition should start normally without requiring a license.
It sounds like the Ultimate edition is still installed. I'd completely remove IntelliJ first, including any old configuration if you don't need it, then install the Community Edition only.
