    I guess the update has switched the license server from using a local file to checking the license online.
    Try qtlicd.exe --mode cli --log-level silly

      On the command line. The executable is in your Qt installation directory under ...\Tools\LicenseService.
      My guess is that your internet connection / firewall doesn't allow the license server to call home.
      If the log output supports this assumption, you can set the environment variable QTLICD_LICENSE_IMPORT_PATH to your local license file.

                That’s the license directory, not the one I asked you to look up.
                Here it is on my PC:

                          By default, Qt License Service is automatically installed as an on-demand service when you install any Qt or Quality Assurance product with Qt Online Installer.

                          However, sometimes you might need a different launching method for Qt License Service. In these cases, you can install Qt License Service manually. Manually installed Qt License Service can operate either as a system service, as an on-demand service, or as a user-space process.

                          ( https://doc.qt.io/qtlicenseserver/qls-how-to-install-service.html )

                          And... I mean... If you don't find it, it can't be stuck or the reason why your QtCreator isn't working properly, right?!


                          If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

                            Please do create a bug report at https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10512

                            Don't be shy with the information, the more the merrier.

                            You can enable the Qt Creator's Screen Recording Plugin install ffmpeg and do a screen cast, and export as .mp4. You can have two Qt Creator instances, one for screen recording and the other for opening the project.

                            This way we can see how bad the things are 😅

                                i even did this

                                See if you can set the environment variable in QtCreator:
                                "QTC_USE_NAMEDLICENSE=1"

                                but sadly nothing :(

                                    @Kris-Revi The funny thing is that I had the same problem with QtCreator 14 on Ubuntu 22.04. But the same issue is gone in QtCreator 15 on Ubuntu 22.04. I am wondering if Qt developers have done enough testing before any releases.

                                        Thank you for the video. I don't think this has anything to do with the licensing, you can forget about it.

                                        The issue with licensing was that Qt Creator wouldn't start.

                                        But this is a code completion issue. Some questions:

                                        • How powerful is the computer that are using?
                                        • Do you have clangd enabled in Preferences > C++ > Clangd
                                        • Can you compile your project?

                                        In the video we can see that the code model has some issues. The project is not correctly configured.

                                          so don't think that is the problem

                                          Clangd is enabled

                                          also i was able to build/compile my project just fine

                                          (FIY the project i had loaded in the video was a faulty project i just loaded up quickly to show the cursor loading problem)
