Phpstorm is a coding integrated development tool that most PHP programmers can't help but love. It supports all PHP language functions, providing the best code completion, refactoring, real-time error prevention and other functions. But for some new PHP users, there is always a question: is phpstorm free? Obviously, this problem is known to all the friends who have downloaded the phpstorm tool. Phpstorm has a 30 day trial period, i.e. free trial within 30 days, and does not need to be activated.
So how to continue after phpstorm expires? (updated on December 24, 2019)

So this article introduces an important free activation method (or activation before expiration). The specific steps are as follows:

1. Open PHPstorm

2. Here we click activation code

1. Copy and paste the following activation code, and click OK (currently valid until September 2020, this activation code will be updated continuously)
