Cannot download Online opensource installer Linux x86

aXTHe05y

I am trying to install the current opensource version of Qt. Following links on the Qt Web page I get to here. Scrolling down I found a link with text "Download the Qt Online Installer". Clicking it indeed downloads an installer, qt-online-installer-linux-x64-4.8.1.run. When I run it I find that it is the commercial installer, complete with the appropriate licence agreement.

This looks like it is likely a mistake in that the wrong link has been set but maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

How can I make my download?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

It's the same downloaded. You likely have a commercial licence installed on your machine that is detected.

@SGaist Thanks for the reply.

I have never had a commercial licence so there must be something that is confusing the installer. Assuming licences are stored as files, do you know where they are? Or, is this possibly a problem with my account?

SGaist

I may have misunderstood something: are you getting any message on the installer that tells you you have a commercial license ?

Or are you referring to the agreement you have to provide that you will follow the rules of the Open Source licenses under which you will use Qt ?

@SGaist The installer itself welcomes me to the "commercial installer". It then presents the commercial agreement.

I have been using Qt opensource for more than a decade and have never had a problem like this. In the mean time I opened a new account with another email address and am currently downloading and installing the OSS version. This makes me suspect that something has happened to my first account as it shows a few licences that I never purchased.

Since all is well with my new account I'm happy to consider my problem solved.

Again, thanks.

I would recommend opening a ticket to check what is happening with your account.

Happy coding !

Hi @aXTHe05y , you can check if you have licenses by starting the installer from the command line and passing "-d" option. It will print out your available licenses if there are any.

The online installer will switch to a commercial version if you even have an evaluation license.
