If you are using it for a paid product or a product used as part of your business activities, you will still need a commercial license. The definition of commercial and non-commercial is detailed in
According to JetBrains, the results of multiple surveys conducted by the developer community Stack Overflow and others have shown that 68% of developers code as a hobby outside of work, and 40% code for professional development and self-paced learning purposes; this percentage is even higher in the fields of game and web development. In response to these needs, JetBrains has adopted a non-commercial license model.
JetBrains stated, 'By making our development environments free for non-commercial use, our goal is to make our development environments available to a wider range of customers. With this new licensing model, we hope to further lower the barrier to use JetBrains development environments and help you keep learning, growing, and creating.'
