Assigning commercial licenses from the license certificate email
You can assign recently purchased licenses to end users directly from the license certificate email you received upon completing the purchase. You can choose between bulk sharing and manual license-by-license assignment.
Bulk sharing
The bulk sharing option allows you to quickly distribute licenses within your team without manually assigning them to each individual user. All you need to do is copy an invitation link and share it with your team members.
If you prefer to distribute licenses one by one instead, skip to the instructions on manual assignment.
Open your license certificate email and click the software activation link.
You can also find the link in the PDF license certificate attached to the email.
This will take you to the license assignment page, where you can find the invitation link. Click Copy link to save it to the clipboard.
Share the invitation link with your team in any way you prefer, such as by email or via a messaging app.
And that's it – your part is done! Your team members can now claim licenses. The process is outlined in the next section.
While users are claiming licenses, we recommend that you take a moment to create an account in JetBrains Console. This will allow you to assign and revoke your licenses after the software activation link in the email has expired.
Claim a license using the invitation link
The invitation link takes users to the JetBrains Console login page.
To claim an assigned license:
Users that already have an account only need to sign in to claim a license.
Those who don't have an account will need to create one. You can also refer them to this article for instructions.
Once logged in, the user will see their new license on the account page. Now they can enter their account credentials in their JetBrains product to activate it.
Manual assignment
If you prefer to assign licenses one by one rather than share them in bulk, follow the instructions below.
Open your license certificate email and click the software activation link.
You can also find the link in the PDF license certificate attached to the email.
On the license assignment page, click the Licenses tab to see the list of licenses in your order. Consult the Assigned to column to check which licenses are available and which are already taken by users.
To assign a license to a new user, find an available one and click Assign next to it.
In the dialog that pops up, enter the user's email address and name, and then click Assign.
That's it! The license is now assigned.

In the dialog that pops up, enter your email address. Make sure you use the same email address to which the license certificate was delivered. Otherwise, you'll have to request permission from the original order recipient to manage the licenses.
Once you've entered your email, click Create JetBrains Account and check your inbox for further instructions.
