How to Download, Install, and Activate GoLand IDE on Windows and macOS

Download the latest GoLand version (e.g., 2023.2.1) from the official website; the guide confirms that versions from 2022 onward work without issues.

Install GoLand and launch it; when prompted for an activation code, close the application and proceed after the activation tool is ready.

Obtain the activation tool package, keep it in a non‑Chinese path, and open the scripts folder (both Windows and macOS versions are shown).

Windows activation: Run uninstall-all-users.vbs to clear any previous activation data, then execute install-current-user.vbs . Wait for a "done" dialog (approximately 10 seconds) before reopening GoLand and entering the new activation code.

macOS activation: Open Terminal, run uninstall.sh to remove old keys, then run install.sh . A "done" message indicates success; afterwards, restart GoLand and input the activation code.

After entering the activation code, the IDE shows a "Licensed" status with an expiration date of December 31 , 2099, though the activation may become invalid after future updates.

To obtain the activation package, reply to the public account named "GoLand" or contact the backend service for retrieval.
