Annoying problem with Qt Creator software after update

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 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 😅

@Pl45m4 tried to install manually but failed!

Kris Revi

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.

Kris Revi

@JoeCFD if that is the case then....

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.

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

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)
