Cannot activate the latest GoLand with jetbra file (251031) on MacOS 26. I added string to vmoptions, but now app is crashed. Can anyone provide instructions?

Installing the IDE
Download and install the latest IDE version
As of July 1, 2024, JetBrains restricted downloads of its products for users from Russia and Belarus. Neither the official website nor JetBrains Toolbox works directly.
Workarounds:
- Use a VPN and download from the official website.
- Download from the repository https://306.antroot.ru/jetbrains-download (no VPN required).
- Download a pre-activated version from torrents (example: https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6812673).
Editing the hosts file
To prevent the IDE from validating the license online, you must block access to the JetBrains account server via the hosts file. This step is recommended for both activation options below.
Hosts file location
- Windows:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts(edit as administrator) - Linux / macOS:
/etc/hosts(edit viasudo)
Add the following lines to the end of the file
# All requests to the JetBrains account server are sent nowhere (a non-existent address).
# This blocks online license validation.
0.0.0.0 account.jetbrains.com
# The main site itself remains reachable
#0.0.0.0 www.jetbrains.com
Option 1 (pseudo-activation)
Installing the activation agent
Get the jetbra files
For 2025+ versions: see the ../jetbra/ folder next to this guide.
!!! Legacy link (may work for older versions up to 2024): Download
It contains the full set of files required for successful activation.
Extract the archive contents, for example to the root of drive C:
Unpacked files
Next, go to the scripts folder and run the appropriate script
- install-current-user.vbs — for the current Windows user
- install-all-users.vbs — for all Windows users
- install.sh — for macOS and Linux
On Windows you should see the following result.
Click OK.
The script may take a few seconds to run.
Press 'OK' and wait for the 'Done' window to appear!
Wait for the script to finish (there may be a few seconds of delay).
Click OK.
The 'Done' window
Result of running the script on Linux:
Done. You should log out of your system!
On Linux and macOS, a reboot is required after the script runs successfully.
Configuring VM Options
The VM Options configuration file must contain the following line:
-javaagent:C:\jetbra\ja-netfilter.jar=jetbrains
Where C:\jetbra\ja-netfilter.jar is the path to your unpacked archive.
In most cases this line is added automatically, but if it's not, add the path to ja-netfilter.jar manually, using the same pattern.
❓ How to locate the VM Options file
Typical files:
JetBrains\{Product}\bin\{product}.exe.vmoptions
JetBrains\{Product}\bin\jetbrains_client64.exe.vmoptions
For example:
C:\Program Files\JetBrains\JetBrains.Rider-2026.1.0.1.win\rider64.exe.vmoptions
C:\Program Files\JetBrains\JetBrains.Rider-2026.1.0.1.win\jetbrains_client64.exe.vmoptions
You can also edit it from within the IDE: Help → Edit Custom VM Options.
If the license notification prevents you from reaching the welcome screen, activate the Trial version first.
Path to the VM Options file in a JetBrains IDE
VM Options configuration file contents
License activation
Go to https://3.jetbra.in, which lists available hosts, and pick any working one
The site also has mirrors (if the original is down), find them via search.
Users recommend the hardbin.com host.
🙁 upd 2024-02-12 | Recently some hosts have been temporarily unavailable — if that happens, come back and try again later.
The 3.jetbra.in site
Pick the product you need
List of products available for activation
Click Copy to clipboard
Copy the activation key.
A few ready-made keys (alternative)
In the IDE, open the license management section
Path to the license management section
Click Activate New License or Remove License
Select Activation Code and paste the code you copied earlier.
IDE activation
Result
You now have an activated IDE valid until September 2026.
Activated IDE
Paid plugins can be activated the same way from the list on 3.jetbra.in. For example, Extra Icons and Code With Me have been successfully activated.
Activated plugins
Option 2 (trial reset)
An alternative approach — periodically resetting the trial period. Doesn't require installing an activation agent or keys. Suitable if Option 1 doesn't work for some reason.
Get the script
The scripts are in the ../reset_trial/ folder next to this guide:
- reset_trial.cmd — for Windows
- reset_trial.sh — for macOS / Linux
Resetting the trial
Before running, close all JetBrains IDEs.
Windows: run reset_trial.cmd.
The script will prompt you to enter the path to your JetBrains config (if you use a non-standard location), or press Enter to use the default paths.
macOS / Linux: run reset_trial.sh in a terminal:
chmod +x reset_trial.sh
./reset_trial.shThe script automatically removes:
- Evaluation (eval) keys for all JetBrains products
evlsprtentries from configuration files- License files and device identifiers
- Registry entries
HKCU\Software\JavaSoft(Windows only)
Once finished, launch the IDE — the trial period will be reset.
You can repeat the reset procedure every time the trial period (30 days) expires.
There is a mirror of 3.jetbra.in, that currently available:

Hi @SamHoque any chance you can share the file?
@SamHoque Tu repositorio ha sido eliminado. ¿Podrías crear uno nuevo o compartir el código?
Apart from reset trial approach I also could activate JetBrains using jetbra jar file.
I can share the instructions if needed.
