Hi

I'm using PHPStorm in remote configuration via the JetBrains gateway. The client (and gateway) are running in Windows 11, while the various backends are running in Ubuntu in WSL2.

I have a bunch of projects which are all quite happy...except my Illuminated Cloud one. I've only just started the free trial but so far:
* It won't start up remotely because it tries to show a client dialog showing me the number of days left on the trial before the client starts up so gets a stack fault and dies
* Now when I start I get a notice saying "An unexpected error occurred during license validation: Failed because your system date and time settings are incorrect. Fix your date and time settings, restart your computer, and try to activate again".

Bearing in mind I'm still on the trial (so not trying to activate) and not only are my date and time settings right but they also align between Windows host and WSL2 (using the same time server) this is frustrating.

Is anyone else trying to use the plugin under these circumstances? I've not hit these problems with any other plugin.

Thanks

Scott
