<![CDATA[License check failed! Giving up...]]>Hello. I had Qt installed half a year ago under a free trial. Now I've installded it under an open source license. Whenever I try to build my project I get a "License check failed! Giving up..." error. It seems that there is an old .qt-license file in my C:\Users\UserName folder. How do I fix this? Running the Maintenance tool doesn't do anything.

Maybe a silly question but did you also remove (or move somewhere else) the old licence file ?

It seems that there is an old .qt-license file in my C:\Users\UserName folder.

So why not simply remove it?

I've removed it, even re-installed Qt after doing it and made a new account. Still same. I'll try contacting support then I guess.
