How do I remove my IntelliJ license in 2019.3?

I have JetBrains IntelliJ installed, how do I remove the license settings? I can find the license details in Help > Register... menu but that does not allow me to remove license settings or to enter invalid data like a nonexisting license server.

Use case: I have a license server installed which is running out of licenses. I want to make sure that my machine does not take a seat if I ever happen to start IntelliJ.

I dont see remove Icon anywhere: enter image description here

Moderator note: please don't suggest how to crack the software or remove trial period limitation.

To remove the license key:

  1. Find the IntelliJ configuration directory
  2. Find the .key license file
  3. Remove or rename the .key license file

In my case on a Windows 7 machine I could find this license key in C:\Users\you\.IntelliJIdea13\config\idea13.key
