DataGrip is a popular integrated development environment (IDE) for databases, developed by JetBrains. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for database developers, administrators, and data scientists to work with various databases, including relational databases, NoSQL databases, and cloud data storage systems.

| Q | A | |---|---| | Do I need a separate license for each computer? | Yes, a license is tied to a user, not a device. The same token can be used on multiple machines, but only one can be active at a time for subscription licenses. | | Can I downgrade from a Commercial to a Personal plan? | Yes—cancel the current subscription in your JetBrains Account and purchase a new Personal plan. Your data and settings remain untouched. | | What happens if my subscription lapses? | DataGrip will switch to mode, letting you view queries and schemas but not execute or edit code. Reactivating restores full functionality. | | Is there a perpetual (one‑time) license? | JetBrains has moved to a subscription‑only model for all new purchases. Existing perpetual licenses from older versions can still be used but won’t receive new major releases. | | Can I use a corporate VPN while activating? | Yes, but the VPN must allow outbound HTTPS traffic to *.jetbrains.com . If you encounter issues, whitelist those domains. |
