- License Server discontinuation: “License Vault is now the default solution for managing JetBrains licenses. The legacy License Server (also known as FLS) was discontinued on January 1, 2026.” Instances may stop distributing licenses at any time after that date. Floating licensing continues through License Vault (JetBrains IDE Services, cloud or on-premises). License Vault cannot distribute expired or perpetual fallback licenses; those are assigned directly through JetBrains Account. Educational institutions distributing free classroom licenses may keep using License Server.
