I think there are more solutions   You can start the app  and here are 3 things you can do    If the app shows for the first time the  import settings  dialog and then the  create open a project  dialog  you can click on Settings   Manage License      Remove License  and that removes for all Jetbrains products   If you open products like IntelliJ IDEA and have projects currently active  like the app open automatically the all IDE without prompt   then click on File   Close Project  and follow the first step  Inside any app of IntelliJ  click on Help   Register      Remove license     In case you have a license for a pack of products  If not  you have to remove the license per product individually  Check the 3rd step
