Answer:

It is easy to see, by iterating over the files related to JetBrains, that the validation of the trial version is tied to several files:

• ~/.config/JetBrains/GoLand2020.2/eval
• ~/.config/JetBrains/GoLand2020.2/options/usage.statistics.xml
• ~/.config/JetBrains/GoLand2020.2/options/other.xml
• ~/.config/JetBrains/$tool*/options/recentProjects.xml
• ~/.config/JetBrains/$tool*/options/updates.xml
• ~/.config/JetBrains/$tool*/options/usage.statistics.xml
• ~/.java/.userPrefs/jetbrains
• ~/.java/.userPrefs/prefs.xml
• ~/.java/.userPrefs/.user.lock.user
• ~/.java/.userPrefs/.userRootModFile.user

Then you can make a script like this:

#!/bin/bash
# https://gist.github.com/Hedgehogues/123eb27100608d248cf8370e666b29ce/

# declare array of tools
declare -a tools=(
    "DataGrip"
    "CLion"
    "Rider"
    "WebStorm"
    "GoLand"
    "PyCharm"
)

for tool in "${tools[@]}"
do
    rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/$tool*/eval
    rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/$tool*/options/usage.statistics.xml
    rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/$tool*/options/other.xml
    rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/$tool*/options/recentProjects.xml
    rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/$tool*/options/updates.xml
    rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/$tool*/options/usage.statistics.xml
    rm -rf ~/.java/.userPrefs/jetbrains
    rm -rf ~/.java/.userPrefs/prefs.xml        
    rm -rf ~/.java/.userPrefs/.user.lock.user
    rm -rf ~/.java/.userPrefs/.userRootModFile.user
done

Then add it to PATH . To make it available from the console every time you boot, you can add the following line to your .bashrc :

export PATH=$PATH:~/path/to/script

In order not to reboot, you should do this:

source ~/.bashrc
