Definition
Toolbox Subscription Agreement for Businesses and Organizations §2.8: ““Machine” means a computing device used by a User for running the Product.” §3.1: via a Floating License Server “the Product is provided to Customer on a ‘per machine’ basis, where the Floating License Server allocates the Subscription to a specific Machine that can only be used by one User at a time.”
Counting rules
About License Server (last modified 2025-07-28): “Licenses managed by FLS are assigned based on a per-machine licensing model: if a single user runs multiple IDEs concurrently on different machines, it requires a license per each machine.” The Floating License Server option is provided at JetBrains’ sole discretion upon written request (§5.3(C)). The legacy License Server was discontinued on 2026-01-01 (License Server discontinuation).
