Do I have to pay to update Qt tools since now? [Solved]

Well, I saw that I can run the Maintenance Tool has super user trough the console.

I will become the owner of full Qt stack.

so if you run it as root, it works ?

I had this issue with the maintenance tool (the message about no valid license). I used to have an account on the Qt website but I didn't log in for a while.

I tried to log in to the site. https://account.qt.io/ and I think I created an account with my existing e-mail address. I think that after that, running the maintenance tool worked for me as expected.

Yes, doing "sudo" directly on the executable of Maintenance Tool (I use Kubuntu/Ubuntu) it worked perfect.

Now I removed Qt Open Source and I installed V-Play, that installs the full Qt stack, and I put it in a subfolder in my own home folder to not have issues with permissions.

I recommend not install Qt in /opt, but in home folder.

mrjj

ok so you solved it :)

I ended up upgrading to 5.5 and the M. tool start working again.

I'm now facing this same problem with the latest Maintenance Tool (updated April 6th, 2017). What should I do?

All I can get is the message:
No valid license available in your Qt Account for this host platform.
Please renew your license(s) from Qt Account.

And there is not a skip button ?
or a way to ignore it ?
Note if there is a skip button but its grey,
remove any text form email etc edit fields.

Thanks, I didn't notice that I can skip it. I was always using my Qt account.

@vlada
well if u have a commercial licence that the right thing to do but if you are using open version then
skipping should be just fine :)
