Qoder CN (formerly Lingma) now offers an upgrade path to the Qoder CN Full Suite. Upgrades for the Personal Edition are now available, with support for the Enterprise Standard Edition and Enterprise Exclusive Edition coming soon.The upgrade consolidates your credits and preserves all your AI data. Note: The login method will change, and the upgrade is irreversible. Support for the Enterprise Standard Edition and Enterprise Exclusive Edition will be announced later.Read this guide before you begin to understand the changes and important details.
Before June 20, 2026, Qoder CN (formerly Lingma) and other products in the Qoder CN Full Suite, such as QoderWork CN, used separate account systems.To use both Qoder CN (formerly Lingma) and QoderWork CN, you had to purchase two separate subscriptions.To ensure a smooth transition for existing Personal Edition users to the new system and allow them to immediately benefit from the Full Suite capabilities, we offer a one-time upgrade plan for existing personal accounts. (Support for the Enterprise Standard Edition and Enterprise Exclusive Edition is coming soon.)The following sections cover changes to your benefits, important notes, and the step-by-step upgrade procedure.
After the upgrade, your Qoder CN (formerly Lingma) personal account becomes a Qoder CN Full Suite account with the following capabilities:
Cross-product access: Use the same account to log in to the Qoder CN IDE plug-in, JetBrains plug-in, QoderWork CN, Qoder CN CLI, QoderWake CN, Qoder CN mobile, and Qoder CN Cloud Agents without separate registrations.
Unified resource pool: After the upgrade, credits are tracked and consumed uniformly across all products in the Full Suite, simplifying quota management and budget planning.
Limited-time model benefits: Upgraded users can enjoy a limited-time offer of 200 free daily calls to the Qwen3.7-Max model. The end date will be announced on the official Qoder CN website.
AI data continuity: Your existing AI data, including AI conversation history, user- and project-specific rules, memories, skills, agents, and code index, are preserved. Your settings in the IDE and JetBrains plug-in, such as general settings, session settings, and terminal settings, are also migrated to the new account.
The upgrade converts your credits at an equivalent rate and extends their validity period:
The credits balance from your Qoder CN (formerly Lingma) account's monthly subscription plan and your current credit resource pack balance are combined and converted into a personal resource pack under the upgraded Qoder CN Full Suite account.
The conversion is a 1:1 equivalent conversion, so the total amount of credits remains the same.
The validity period of the converted personal resource pack is reset to one month, starting from the day of the upgrade.
This upgrade extends the validity of your credits while maintaining their value.
After the upgrade, your Qoder CN (formerly Lingma) subscription orders are handled as follows:
Seat subscription fees for the next and subsequent subscription periods are automatically refunded to your original payment method. You do not need to apply for a refund.
Any active auto-renewal orders are also canceled.
Fees for used periods are not eligible for a refund.
Remaining credits within the current subscription period are migrated to the new account's personal resource pack as described in Section 2.2 and will not be refunded as cash.
To continue using paid Full Suite features after the upgrade, subscribe to the Personal Pro plan at https://qoder.cn/pricing.

Review the following changes carefully before upgrading:
VSC plug-in is no longer supported: After the upgrade, the original Qoder CN (formerly Lingma) VSC plug-in is deprecated and is not included in the Qoder CN Full Suite. If you currently rely on the VSC plug-in for daily development, we recommend switching to the Qoder CN IDE plug-in and assessing your development environment's compatibility before upgrading. The supported clients in the Full Suite are the IDE, JetBrains plug-in, QoderWork CN, Qoder CN CLI, QoderWake CN, Qoder CN mobile, and Qoder CN Cloud Agents.
Login method change: After the upgrade, you can no longer use your original login method (such as logging in with an Alibaba Cloud account). You must use your Qoder CN account and select the Log in with Qoder CN option to access the IDE plug-in, JetBrains plug-in, and other Full Suite products.
Account system switch: The credits for the current cycle from your old account will be transferred to your Qoder CN account.
Existing Qoder CN personal account: If you previously registered a personal account on the official Qoder CN website (qoder.cn) with the same Alibaba Cloud account UID, your Qoder CN account will be merged into your existing Qoder CN account. The remaining credits and inheritable data from Qoder CN will be added to this account. You can then use this account to log in to all Qoder CN products.
No existing Qoder CN personal account: If you have never registered a personal account on the official Qoder CN website with your Alibaba Cloud account UID, the system automatically uses your UID to create a new Qoder CN Personal Community Edition account. This account serves as your new login identity, and no extra action is required. If you later need a higher quota or Pro benefits, go to https://qoder.cn/pricing to purchase a subscription.
Client version requirements: Ensure your IDE plug-in and JetBrains plug-in are updated to the latest versions before upgrading to support the new login method.
Irreversible action: The upgrade is irreversible. Once completed, you cannot revert to the old Qoder CN (formerly Lingma) account system. Please assess the changes thoroughly before you proceed.
