Log into the JetBrains Account website and ensure your student or open-source status has not expired. Student packs must be renewed annually.
First, ensure your system time and date are correct. Verify that your .vmoptions file hasn't been reset and that your hosts file isn't blocking JetBrains activation servers. If the issue persists, log into your JetBrains account and check that the license is still active and that you haven't exceeded the number of allowed devices.
Use "Project from Version Control" to browse and download repositories.

Requires a separate individual subscription or a business seat assignment managed via your GitHub organization.
