    I have had commercial QtCreator running on this computer with 5.12.4 for over a year and it hasn't had any problems. I mistakenly uninstalled it. I have a developer coming online in about 3 hours, so I just downloaded the latest commercial unified linux installer. I installed with the same 5.12.4 library, but QtCreator doesn't run because GLIBC_2.28 isn't installed. (I have 2.27). I figure I had the 5.x version of QtCreator installed before and now have 6.x since it didn't give me any other option.

    I search the forum and saw some links for archive, but they were all listed as open source versions.

    Do you know where I can get the 5.x commercial version?

        The QtCreator version is not the same as your Qt Version.
        5.12.4 is a Qt build and not the QtCreator :)
        Just to make sure :)

          Thank you for the feedback!

          I was able to download an older version (5.03) from https://account.qt.io/downloads.

          Just a couple of notes in case someone following has the same issue:

          • The linux unified installer now installs Qt creator 6.xx with a dependency on GLIBC_2.28 (no other option is available)
          • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has GLIBC_2.27 (upgrading is not recommended!), so the latest qtcreator will not run on this version of ubuntu
          • You can get the 5.03 version from the link above and install it. It installs into a different path. Be sure to add the new lib path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before the lib path of that installed by the unified installer.

          Thanks again for the help.

            @Pl45m4 You're right on. The 5.12.4 is the framework version. The linux unified installer installs qtcreater 6.xx with no option to install an older version. (And there's not an option to not install it either).
