Great, but how about letting me have my paid, licensed Rust rover open on two PCs simultaneously? I have my work PC which I leave on pretty much 24/7 and if I forget to close RustRover, and try to launch it on my desktop (for personal project, or to just work from another room) I get an error that I already have a licensed copy running and it closes RustRover. Sometimes I wake my Laptop from sleep and it does this because I still had an old window open. Really unnecessary...

I just bought the annual license for all IDEs did not know this was a restriction that’s a bummer. Surely they can do some pattern analysis to determine which systems belong to a single license.

  It’s not a restriction for personal licenses. EDIT: Or if you a corporate license and have the same OS username on both computers.

For personal licenses it's a non-issue. For commercial, use the same username on both computers. If you have floating licenses, you need multiple licenses.

  Can confirm this doesn't seem to occur anymore, they must have fixed in the past few months.

You just have a corporate license: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241005-Using-IDE-on-different-machines-and-operating-systems-with-the-same-license https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207... And you have different operating system usernames on both computers. It says if you have the same OS username on both you’ll be fine. This works fine on my personal license with different usernames.

  > This works fine on my personal license with different usernames. I just checked on my two machines different OS, different OS usernames. Both copies of Rust Rover are signed in with the same account and have the same license. I just tried launching RR on both machines and... I didn't have the issue that I've been struggling with for what seems like forever. This WAS definitely 100% an issue before though, I was trying everything to find an different editor to switch to. The article you linked was "Updated November 5, 2024 at 11:17 AM" So its possible they made a change since I stopped trying to do this and got in the habit of closing RR out on each machine... and didn't realize they actually did fix it. Thank you.
