Annoying problem with Qt Creator software after update
-
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 variableQTLICD_LICENSE_IMPORT_PATHto your local license file. -
i have no "LicenseService"
-
In
Qt\LicenseService? -
found it, what do i do here?
-
@Axel-Spoerl there is no
qtlicd.exeinside that folder -
That’s the license directory, not the one I asked you to look up.
Here it is on my PC:
-
@Axel-Spoerl weird i dont have that folder...
-
How have you installed Qt Creator then?
-
@Axel-Spoerl Qt Online Installer for Windows (x64)
-
@Axel-Spoerl i uninstalled Qt and about to install it again but i dont see the "Licenses Manager Tools" in the installer

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?!

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
ffmpegand 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 😅

had to upload the video -> https://streamable.com/oxeb11
here you can see what i mean in action it happens constantly

@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
clangdenabled 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.
-
Computer specs
- MSI Z790-P PRO
- Intel Core i9-13900K
- DDR5, 5600MT/s 32GB 2x16GB DIMM
- ASUS DUAL GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER OC
so don't think that is the problem
Clangdis 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)

You could have a look at Tools > Debug Qt Creator > Show Logs ... for details. But I don't actually know what to tell you to watch after.
Here in my Windows VM the wait cursor doesn't appear. I do have the Windows antivirus with real-time protection enabled.
