Detailed tutorial on building a local idea activation server

Preface

The blogger uses the idea IDE. Because the idea official has recently cracked down on third-party activation services, my idea is often in a state where it can be used today but cannot be used tomorrow. Therefore, I found the local idea activation service from the idea activation website and would like to share it with you.

1. Download the service pack

First, you need to download an idea local server from http://idea.lanyus.com/

2. Installation

It is said to be installed, but in fact you can just unzip it directly in a place where you think you can directly put this service, and then run the exe program corresponding to the system bit number.

Then we can directly fill in the service we created on the activation page of idea.

That's it, we can use our development IDE normally.

In order to see the activation address for the first time, we can display this black box, but as long as we restart the computer, this service will not run, so when we start IDEA for the next time, we still need to enter the activation address and start the program, so what should we do?

At this time, we need to create this exe program as a windows service, so that it can run automatically in the background when it starts. The specific operation is:

Open the cmd command prompt as an administrator (powershell does not work), and then enter:

sc create IdeaRegistServer binpath= D:\tools\IdeaRegistServer\IntelliJIDEALicenseServer_windows_amd64.exe type= own start= auto displayname= Regist_Server

Then we can see this service in service.msc. We can set this service to start automatically at boot, and then we can enjoy the fun of activation without worrying about being blocked, hahahaha.

Update, update, update! Important things should be said three times!

I forgot to mention one thing above, that is, this activation service is not a one-time solution, and it also has an expiration date, until October 14, 2018. Once this date passes, you will need to reactivate it, so we still find a way to activate it by cracking the patch. I will take you to explore it in my latest blog.

Regarding setting up automatic startup services, since the above program is not a very standard Windows service program, there will be many problems when starting some versions of the system. The final solution is to write a vbs script and put it in the startup folder, and then you can activate the service to run in the background. Attached is the code:

Dim WShell
Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WShell.Run "D:\tools\IdeaRegistServer\IntelliJIDEALicenseServer_windows_amd64.exe", 0 'The 0 at the end means "hidden"
Set WShell = Nothing

The code in quotation marks is the directory where the activation exe is placed. Just replace it with your own. Put the above code in a text document, save it, change the extension to .vbs and run it.

I would like to say that the latest version of idea no longer supports this type of server activation. I hope everyone will use the jar package activation method instead. The disadvantage is that when idea is updated, it will ask whether to roll back the two files we have modified. Just skip it.
