@mrjj It somehow worked out after I download online installer, logged into my account there, then run maintenance tool again - at didn't ask me for my credentials this time.

Ok, sort of the same I did I guess. except i deleted it all first :) doh -

@mrjj Well the key difference here - I didn't need to reinstall qt.
@flashmozzg
Yeah, quite the time saver.
I think i deleted it because it complained about folder already used or something like that. -

@mrjj Yep. Because of that I launched maintenance tool to uninstall Qt and found out that it's now working ;)
@flashmozzg
Oh, i see my fail now
I just deleted the folder :) -
Had the same problem on Linux. If you installed Qt as root (most likely to /opt/Qt) then you'll have to run the maintenance tool as root, too. Otherwise it will look for your key in the wrong place and it also won't have write access to the installation directory. Unfortunately the start menu entry for the maintenance tool (that was created during installation) doesn't run the tool as root by default (so one has to fix this start menu entry).

@Wieland Thanks for the tip. I had a even more complex problem. I had logged in as a normal user, but when I installed Qt, I did it with sudo. This created the crazy situation of having the ~/.config/Qt files in my normal user directory, but had the ownership of the files in /opt/Qt be in the user of 'root'.
So running the maintenance tool as 'root' didn't work, nor did running it as a 'normal user'.
The fix is to run it via sudo from the normal user, just the way I did the install:
sudo ./MaintenanceToolToo bad the GUI error message was so completely wrong when it said:
No valid license available in your Qt Account for this host platformAlso the command line warning was completely wrong when it said:
[root@localhost Qt]# ./MaintenanceTool

Hi,
I encountered the same problem and only downloading the Online Installer and then starting it and arriving just after the question of where install the sources, (C:/Qt). So, the Online Installer told me that in that directory there was yet an installation. I stop the Online Installer and than restarted the Maintenance Tool. At that point it worked correctly as well.
Maybe, this operation made my installation 'connect' to the online metadata folder.Maybe, this information can be useful to somebody else which can encounter this problem.
