How to Download, Install, and Activate GoLand IDE on Windows and macOS
This guide walks through downloading the latest GoLand version, installing it on Windows or macOS, using the provided activation scripts to remove previous keys, running uninstall and install scripts, and finally entering the activation code to achieve a licensed IDE until 2099.
First download the latest GoLand installer (e.g., version 2023.2.1) from the official website; the version works on both Windows and macOS.
Run the installer, open GoLand, and note that it will prompt for an activation code; close the application and reopen later.
Download the activation tool package, keep it in a non‑Chinese path, and open the scripts folder (different screenshots are shown for Windows and macOS).
Windows activation: double‑click uninstall-all-users.vbs to clear any previous activation data, then run install-current-user.vbs . Wait for a “done” dialog (about 10 seconds) before the activation is successful.
macOS activation: open Terminal, execute uninstall.sh to remove old keys, then run install.sh . A “done” message indicates success; afterwards reopen GoLand and enter the activation code.
After the scripts report success, launch GoLand and input the provided activation code; the IDE shows a “Licensed” status with an expiration date of 2099‑12‑31, though future updates may invalidate it.
To obtain the activation code, reply to the public account post titled “GoLand” or contact the backend service as instructed.
