From my understanding, the EAP version has the ultimate features included in it.
I am curious whether this version can be used for commercial use.
I have no been able to find a definite answer. Thanks.

2I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it asks for legal advice. – elixenide Jun 12 '15 at 13:59

1It is very much related to inellij-idea, and it is not a far-fetched assumption that users of this IDE would know this information. – waterbottle27 Jun 12 '15 at 14:11

2It would be better to ask JetBrains directly. – Meo Jun 12 '15 at 15:08

9I asked JetBrains directly. Their exact words (I was very specific about the fact that I was using EAP): "Thank you for contacting JetBrains. You can use the license for commercial development." – Mitch Talmadge Jul 29 '16 at 01:41

Yes. If you look at the IDEA*.txt licenses in the <ideaInstallDir>/license directory of an EAP version, you will see that they are exactly the same as those in the released version. Basically EAP's are considered evaluation licenses (see comment by JetBrains here). If you (or your lawyers) want to be absolutely sure, I recommend e-mailing sales@JetBrains.com

1So actually, the answer is "Yes, but only with the right license" - which might be taken as "no" by the OP :-). – sleske Apr 08 '16 at 12:23

Like Mitch said on the comment above : "You can use the license for commercial development" – Anthony Chatellier Mar 08 '19 at 08:17
