How to configure IntelliJ IDEA to load the license server address from the properties file?

My goal is to avoid manually setting up the license server:

Help > Register > IntelliJ IDEA License Activation Dialog is opened > License server

I asked the same question in the IntelliJ IDEA Help Center and received a response from a JetBrains Support Officer: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206666999

There seems to be no IntelliJ configuration property to configure the license server.

You can either configure the DNS lookup , or copy the existing key to the configuration folder.

Actually there is a simple way, contrary to the accepted answer. It is only about creating this file (on macOS): $HOME/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea<version>/idea.key This path will need to be adjusted for Windows and Linux.

The contents of this file are just one line pointing to your license server. For example, if your license server is running at http://jetbrains.example.com , then the idea.key file should contain: URL:http://jetbrains.example.com
