      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.
