Register JetBrains Rider

Last modified: 17 June 2024

You can evaluate JetBrains Rider for up to 30 days free of charge.

tip

  • JetBrains Rider will automatically log you into your JetBrains Account if you're using ToolBox to install JetBrains products and already logged in there.

  • If you use two-factor authentication for your JetBrains Account, you can specify the generated app password instead of the primary JetBrains Account password.

Start a free trial

  • In the Licenses dialog that opens when you start JetBrains Rider, click the Start Free 30-Day Trial button.

    You will be redirected to the JetBrains website where you will see a confirmation that your trial has started.

Upon the expiration of the trial version, you need to buy and register a license to continue using JetBrains Rider. A new trial period will be available for the next released version of JetBrains Rider.

note

For more information on our licensing model, refer to the Licensing and Purchasing FAQ.

    JetBrains Rider: Licenses dialog

  2. Select how you want to register JetBrains Rider or a plugin that requires a license:

    Log in to your JetBrains Account and get licenses that you purchased.

    If you don't have a JetBrains Account yet, use the Register button.

    JetBrains Rider automatically shows the list of your licenses and their details like expiration date and identifier. Click Activate to start using your license.

    If your license is not shown on the list, click Refresh license list.

    tip

    JetBrains Rider detects the system proxy URL during initial startup and uses it for connecting to the JetBrains Account, Floating License Server, and License Vault. To override the URL of the system proxy, add the -Djba.http.proxy JVM option. Specify the proxy URL as the host address and optional port number: proxy-host[:proxy-port]. For example: -Djba.http.proxy=http://my-proxy.com:4321.

    If you want to disable proxy detection entirely and always connect directly, set the property to -Djba.http.proxy=direct.

Change the active user

  1. Select Help | Manage Licenses from the main menu.

Access to JetBrains Account: Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems when attempting to log in to your JetBrains Account, this may be due to one of the following reasons:

Log in with an authorization token

An authorization token is a way to log in to your JetBrains Account if your system doesn't allow for redirection from the IDE directly, for example, due to your company's security policy. JetBrains Rider recognizes when redirection to the JetBrains Account website is impossible. It enables you to copy a link to generate an authorization token manually.

  1. Click Copy link and open the copied link in your browser.

  2. Log in to your JetBrains Account to generate an authorization token. After that, copy the token, paste it to the IDE authorization token field and click Check token. Once you've successfully logged in, you can start using JetBrains Rider.
