import os os.environ['PySimpleGui_license'] = '1712995095' import PySimpleGUI as sg

gives the error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PySimpleGUI' on VS Code Editor and PyCharm.

It appears you're trying to specify the key as if it were a Distribution key. If you're trying to use your normal key ( a Developer Key), then that needs to be input into the Home Window. You'll find more info in the documentation: https://docs.pysimplegui.com/en/latest/documentation/installing_licensing/license_keys/

And in the FAQ: https://docs.pysimplegui.com/en/latest/FAQ/#how-do-i-install-my-license-keys-into-the-pysimplegui-software

This sounds more like an install problem, not a license key problem. Did you pip install within PyCharm/VS Code? Have you pip installed other modules successfully? Does your program run outside of an IDE from the command line?

How did you install PySimpleGUI? You should be able to import the module without getting a "not found" error regardless of licensing or PySimpleGUI version. Sounds like you may be running a virtual environment in your IDEs and need to install from within VSCode and PyCharm.
