How to get license file for development with MSVC on another host (qt-build is on netdrive)?
-
I installed Qt (free/community/opensource) on a Hyper-V virtual machine.
I made a build (win32-msvc) on the same VM, drive N:
On my base work PC (different hard-machine, not VM, same LAN) I use Visual Studio 2022, with Qt addon.
I connected the VM's drive N: as N: (N$) to this base (MSVC work) PC (whose disks are too full to install Qt also there).
In the versions selector of the Qt addon I selected the qmake.exe on drive N:, the selector showed the version correctly.
When I closed the selector and reopened it, the chosen version was gone, list empty again, CMake continues to run on error "not found" of course.
In the internet I found a hint to download a license file from Qt, and install it as ".qt-license" in the %userprofile%.
In https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-building.html I found the same hint, but only for commercial versions.
I am not interested in commercial/profit work on Qt, and can't pay for it anyway.
What have I to do, to get it to run? -
I don't think a license file would help here at all. It's only needed if you have commercial Qt license. It does not affect how CMake or qmake works.

drive N
Is it a network drive?
