Maintenance Tool Issue: Request for Assistance

rania12

I initially installed the Qt Enterprise Edition on October 19, 2024. Later, I realized I needed the Community Edition to use Qt for free.

On October 25, 2024, I uninstalled the Enterprise Edition and installed the Community Edition. It worked fine until I tried to upgrade to Qt 6.8.1(today 4/12/2024). The Maintenance Tool recognized me as an Enterprise user who hadn't paid for a license, instead of a Community user. (I used the same Gmail address as for the Enterprise Edition.)

My question:

Do I need to uninstall the Community Edition and reinstall it using a new Qt Creator account?
Is there a way to change my account status back to Community?
Would creating and using a new account resolve this issue?

I don't think you can. But you can ask QtCompany.

"Would creating and using a new account resolve this issue?" - yes

@jsulm , does creating a new Qt account mean reinstalling Qt?

jsulm

@rania12 No, if I'm not mistaken if you start Qt Maintenance Tool it will ask for your credentials - select your new Qt account

@jsulm i did try to use a new account,but it didnt work,instead it showed this (Vous semblez avoir changé le compte Qt qui a été utilisé pour cette installation à l'origine. Veuillez utiliser les informations d'identification d'origine (**********************) pour cette installation.)

@rania12 Please next time translate to English.

Then try to uninstall first using your original Qt account and then install using the new one...

Hello,

I recently installed a fresh version of Qt Creator (Qt 6.8.1). Everything worked fine initially, but I have since encountered several issues:

1.When I create a new .cpp file, it does not appear in the project explorer (the section on the left of the interface). However, the file is correctly referenced in the .pro file.
2.I tried creating a new empty project, but when I compile it, I get the following error:
:-1: error: [Makefile.Debug:69: debug/camerapc3.exe] Error 1
:-1: error: collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I am wondering if it is possible to update Qt Creator to resolve this issue. The last time I attempted an update, Qt Creator switched to the Enterprise version, which does not suit my needs.

My question:

Could you please provide a solution to fix these problems or explain the correct procedure to update without switching to the Enterprise version?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,

Can you show the content of your .pro file ?

@SGaist I restarted the PC and opened Qt Creator. Everything went back to normal. The cache memory of Qt Creator seems to have cleared.
