How to Download, Install, and Activate CLion on Windows and macOS
This guide walks you through downloading the latest CLion version, installing it, using the provided activation tool to clear previous activations, running the appropriate scripts on Windows or macOS, and finally entering the activation code to obtain a license valid until 2099.
1. Download and Install CLion
Download the latest CLion version (e.g., 2023.2.1) from the official website, install it, and close the application when prompted for an activation code.
2. Download Activation Tool
Extract the activation package without moving or renaming files, and open the scripts folder (both Windows and macOS have this folder).
Windows
Run uninstall-all-users.vbs to clear previous activation data, then execute install-current-user.vbs and wait for the “done” dialog before entering the activation code in CLion.
macOS
Open Terminal, run uninstall.sh to remove old activation data, then run install.sh ; after the “done” message, restart CLion and input the activation code.
5. Activation Demonstration
Enter the provided activation code; a “Licensed” message indicates success, with the license valid until December 31, 2099, though it may become invalid after future updates.
