Licence issue with WSL
I'm moving from a straight Linux machine to WSL and have run into an issue with license activation.
I installed IDEA in WSL and copied the JetBrains folders in ~/.cache, ~/.config and ~/.local/share from my Linux box to WSL. IDEA starts fine but after some time, the Register dialogue pops up asking my to activate Code With Me. The IDEA license at that point is marked as active.
I ignore this as I don't use Code With Me but after some time, the Register dialogue pops up again this time asking me to active IDEA but, strangely enough, showing that Code With Me is active!
Dismissing the dialogue at this point, of course, exits IDEA.
Going through this does not affect IDEA on my Linux box where I can still start IDEA without issue.
It seems like a problem contacting the license server but I see nothing in logs other than "license required" to indicate a problem.
Any ideas as to what the problem might be and how to resolve it (short of downloading an offline activation code)?

How do you activate the IDE? JetBrains Account, offline activation code or company license server?
Offline activation code may help: https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360016995379.
Company license server.
https://account.jetbrains.com/licenses shows that I have an active license.
I figured I might have to use an offline code but I was wondering if it might be a known issue with a fix.
The curious thing is that I seem to be the only one who is having this issue at my company.
Try deleting ~/.java directory and the .key file from the IDE Configuration directory: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html#config-directory.
Then register the IDE again using the license server and see if it helps.
