• If not tkinter - looked for Demo Programs for specific port
• For non tkinter - Looked at readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
• Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
• Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported Issues.PySimpleGUI.com
• Have upgraded to the latest release of PySimpleGUI on PyPI (lastest official version)
• Tried running the Development Build. Your problem may have already been fixed but not released. Check Home Window for release notes and upgrading capability

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.

Please send licensing questions via email to license@PySimpleGUI.com

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?

[PySimpleGUI]

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.
