JetBrains Student Pack: every professional IDE for $0
All JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm Pro, WebStorm, CLion, RustRover, DataGrip and more) are free while you are enrolled — normally $149–$779/yr each.
Step-by-step guide
How to do it
Open the official signup form
Go to jetbrains.com/shop/eform/students and sign in (or create) a JetBrains Account.
Verify enrollment
Submit a university email, ISIC/ITIC ID, GitHub Student Pack link, or other official proof of enrollment. Approval can take a few days.
Download any IDE
Once approved, every IDE — IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, CLion, Rider, PhpStorm, DataGrip, RubyMine, RustRover, DataSpell, GoLand — downloads under your free education license.
Renew yearly while enrolled
In year two, respond to the renewal email and resubmit proof of student status.
Claim the graduation discount
After access expires, use the 40% off offer (two years) on any JetBrains product.
Details & Context
JetBrains issues free annual education licenses to students at accredited institutions for its entire desktop IDE lineup. Verification runs through the official signup eform: a university email, an ISIC/ITIC card, the GitHub Student Developer Pack, or uploaded proof of enrollment. Licenses stay valid as long as you remain a student and renew annually (JetBrains emails a reminder — just resubmit proof). After graduation you get a 40% graduation discount on any JetBrains product for two years. Value: IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate alone is ~$779/yr commercially, so the pack is worth well over $1,000/yr if you'd otherwise buy one IDE.
