    What do you think you gain with Qt6? There is not much difference to Qt5 for now so use Qt5.

    @Christian-Ehrlicher Well, in the past WE wrote a lot of code for (I think it was) Qt 3. At some time we had to move to Qt4 and that was a hell of a job.
    So when starting a new project, I think it is best to start with the newest version.

        Since there are a lot of modules missing and Qt5 and Qt6 are mostly source compatible (when using Qt 5.15) I don't see a reason to use Qt6 for a new project now.

        Qt Online Installer direct download: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/

          Is that a lot of modules missing/not yet implemented in Qt 6??

            Qt has to stay free or it will die.

              Thanks, got it. I see all the "base" stuff, it's the add-ons yet to come. For my part I see it won't be till 6.2 that we get WebEngine, and (although I don't use it) MultiMedia. I think the OP, @Simmania, should look at the lists before he launches into Qt 6, in case he's expecting something which isn't there yet.

                I do not see modules in the lists of 6.1 and 6.2 that I need now. So I still think I should go for Qt6 to be ready for the future. But I do not know how!
                If I run the Maintenancetool, it says I need to update version 5 first. But how do I update? I do not see any update tool or any updat menu item.

                  Found the check update. Did run it several times. Says "no upates available". Maintenance tool the same. But Qt version is still 5.15.2.
                  How do I get Qt 6?

                    @Simmania Using an up to date maintenance tool : log in, select "add or remove components" (not "update components") for selecting the Qt versions you want to install side by side.

                      Can you post menu sequence ?
                      menu->next menu -> next menu -> etc.

                      Thanks

                        Step 0 : ensure maintenance tool is up to date

                        • Launch maintenance tool
                        • ["Welcome to Qt Maintenance Tool"] Fill in your account credentials and press Next
                        • ["Setup - Qt"] Select "Update components" and press Next - if everything is up to date, it will be written "No updates available", close maintenance tool and proceed with Step 1 in this case.
                        • ["Select Components"] if maintenance tool is outdated, it will be listed here
                        • ["Ready to Update Packages"] press "Update" and wait until installation ends
                        • ["Completing the Qt Wizard"] press "Finish" and redo Step 0

                        Step 1 : install Qt6

                        • Launch maintenance tool
                        • ["Welcome to Qt Maintenance Tool"] Fill in your account credentials and press Next
                        • ["Setup - Qt"] Select "Add or remove components" and press Next
                        • ["Select Components"] , from "Select Categories", ensure "Latest releases" is checked. Unfold "Qt" component group. You should see Qt 6.0.0 in this list, check it. Press Next

                        • ["Ready to Update Packages"] press "Update" and wait until installation ends
                        • ["Completing the Qt Wizard"] press "Finish"
