    For mistake I have installed the commercial version in my Windows machine, but I need to install Open Source edition.
    I open QtCreator and the try period has started.

    I have removed Qt commercial installation; and downloaded the open source installer from https://www.qt.io/download-open-source

    But I always get the message "Welcome to commercial Qt setup."

    How can I install open source version?

      @Sergio-DeP The type of installation is not bound to a specific Qt Online Installer download, but to your Qt Account. So please check your Qt account.

      If you want to stop an evaluation of commercial Qt, I suggest contacting Qt support about this.

        Your Qt license (also a commercial evaluation license) is fetched to your local system. The installer defaults to a commercial installation, if a license file is found.

        It's ~/.qt-licenseon Linux and in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Qt\qtlicenseson Windows.
        Remove the license file, to fall back to an opensource installation.

          I am having similar issues but removing the licence file did not work for me.
          Can someone guide me.
