Error: Qt license file was not found!

MichalF

Hello,
I recently bought a license from QT, but while I'm trying to install the software, I encounter the following error: (a picture is also attached)

I work on a Linux system. (using Virtual box - debian)

I have a correct license file on my computer,.
maybe someone has an idea how to solve this?
Maybe tell me where the software looks for this file and change the PATH there?

Thanks,
Michal

@MichalF You need to do this:

export QT_LICENSE_FILE=/path/to/qt-license.txt

Then you can proceed with configure and it should work.

@sierdzio thank you for the reply.
I've done this before and it didn't help, the problem repeats itself.

Just wondering: given that you have written this saying that you do not where the licence file is located, how did you manage to set the environment to point to it as per @sierdzio's suggestion?

@JonB I know where this folder is located on my computer.
I'm asking, maybe the software is looking for it in a different Path than QT_LICENSE_PATH....

It's QT_LICENSE_ FILE not PATH. You need to set it in the same terminal session where you run configure:

export QT_LICENSE_PATH=/path/to/your/license/file
configure -something -blah

And the variable needs to point to the file itself, not the folder where it's located.
