How to Release a Floating License in WebStorm and Manage Licenses on Your Server

Are you experiencing issues with your floating license for WebStorm? Perhaps you're not using it currently, or you're looking to free up the license for other users. Whatever the case, releasing a floating license is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps.

First, let's take a look at how floating licenses work. JetBrains programs, including WebStorm, can be installed and run on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Each of these floating licenses is only valid for a certain period of time and is automatically extended for the next time frame if the license server is connected.

To release a floating license in WebStorm, all you need to do is close the JetBrains program. If you're not currently using the program, please release the license so that other users can use it. This will make the floating license available to other users again.

If you would like to continue working with the program, simply reconnect to the Internet and start the program again. Keep in mind that if there is no more connection to the license server after the time frame has expired, you may receive a popup hint suggesting that you save your project or work and close the software.

The license server used by JetBrains is called 'zitlic05'. It's responsible for managing the licenses for all users. IT at DESY has purchased 30 floating licenses of the 'All Products Pack' for use with WebStorm.

JetBrains is a well-known manufacturer of professional development tools for software developers and managers of software projects. Their programs are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems.

If you have any questions about using or managing your JetBrains license, please don't hesitate to reach out to the support team at IT. They can provide guidance on installing and managing JetBrains products using the Toolbox App, as well as information on the scope and use of floating licenses.

In addition to WebStorm, JetBrains offers a range of other development tools, including IntelliJ IDEA, which is one of their most popular products. Originally developed as a development environment for the Java programming language only, IntelliJ IDEA has since expanded to support a wide range of languages and technologies.

By releasing your floating license and managing your licenses on the server, you can ensure that all users have access to the tools they need to complete their work efficiently and effectively.
