⚠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

1. "Script won't run"

Problem: No execution permissions or execution policy

Solution:

# Linux/macOS
chmod +x activate.sh

# Windows PowerShell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process

2. "No JetBrains IDEs found"

Problem: IDEs not installed or not detected

Solution:

• Ensure JetBrains IDEs are installed
• Check paths in ~/.config/JetBrains (Linux/macOS) or %APPDATA%\JetBrains (Windows)
• Run IDE at least once to create configuration

3. "File download error"

Problem: Network issues or server unavailability

Solution:

• Check internet connection
• Try running the script later
• Check availability of https://ckey.run

4. "Can't see license keys" / "Keys not displayed"

Problem: Script says "License keys are shown above", but keys are not visible in output

Solution:

• License keys are displayed in GREEN color in sections with header === LICENSE KEY FOR [PRODUCT] ===
• Scroll up in your terminal to find the keys for each product
• If you don't see any products at all, check:
  • Make sure JetBrains IDEs are installed
  • Run each IDE at least once to create its configuration
  • Verify ~/.cache/JetBrains (Linux/macOS) or %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains (Windows) directory exists
• If script shows "No JetBrains products found", install IDEs and run them before re-running the script
• On Linux: Make sure you run the script with sudo permissions if needed

5. "License keys don't work" / "Key is invalid"

Problem: Incorrect keys, server blocking, or .vmoptions files not configured correctly

Solution:

• Ensure you copied keys completely
• Check activation format in JetBrains IDE
• Important: The script automatically configures .vmoptions files in both the installation directory (bin) and the configuration directory
• On Windows: The script modifies idea64.exe.vmoptions, jetbrains_client64.exe.vmoptions, and other files in the IDE installation bin folder
• Make sure the IDE was completely closed before running the script
• Restart the IDE after activation
• Try creating new license with different parameters

6. ".vmoptions file error"

Problem: Permission issues or existing settings

Solution:

• Run script as administrator
• Check access permissions for .vmoptions files
• Script automatically creates backups
