AI Enterprise and License Vault license assignment behavior

Question

Can assigning an AI Enterprise license from an IDE Services Cloud automatically assign an IDE license through License Vault on the same server?

Answer

Assigning an AI Enterprise license to a user through IDE Services Cloud does not automatically assign them an IDE license via License Vault. The two licensing systems, AI Enterprise and License Vault, are managed and allocated independently. However, the behavior observed where a user automatically receives an IDE license after joining IDE Services via Toolbox App aligns with the intended functionality of License Vault.

Expected Functionality:

• When a user joins the IDE Services Cloud instance via Toolbox App, their IDE sessions will activate using License Vault by default if license availability and configuration permits. This behavior happens independently of any JetBrains Account-based license assignments and aligns with standard License Vault rules.

Preventing Unintended IDE License Consumption:

• This default behavior can lead to scenarios where both an AI Enterprise license and an IDE license are being consumed simultaneously (e.g., if the user already has an IDE license via JetBrains Account or another assignment method).
• To address this, configure access rules in License Vault to control who can consume IDE licenses.

Steps to Configure Access Rules in License Vault:

1. Navigate to the License Vault Management section in IDE Services Cloud.
2. Use the Rules feature to restrict or allow IDE license access based on specific criteria (e.g., users, groups, or email domains).

For detailed configuration guidance, refer to these resources:

• Manage License Vault
• Set Access Rules in License Vault

Important Notes:

• This functionality ensures efficient license management across combined services like AI Enterprise and IDEs.
• Proper configuration of License Vault rules is key to preventing unintended license consumption and avoiding duplicate usage.
