I'm happy to inform you that new Qt Educational License packages and automated process are here. 🎉
What is Qt Educational License?
The Qt Company offers educational licenses for students and teachers free of charge.
The license packages come with the Enterprise version of Qt Design Studio and the Professional version of Qt Device Creation (only Raspberry Pi support). You'll be able to access both Qt 5.15 LTS and Qt 6 (all releases).
The license term is 12 months. After expiry, you can renew your license annually by following the same process, as long as you still have a valid educational email address.
Educational licenses should be used for learning purposes only (any commercial use or distribution is prohibited).
How can I get the Qt Educational License?
Anyone with an email address from a known educational institute can automatically get an Edu license by going to the Qt Educational License page.
All you need to do is fill out the form, verify your email address, and you’ll be ready to go! Detailed installation instructions will be sent to your email.
This change does not affect currently active educational licenses. You will only need to follow the new process upon renewal.

This is great news, thanks!

BTW: We just "talked" (commented) on LinkedIn haha.
So, here is somethig about me: I have been learning C++ for a while now, and Qt is a chance to apply what I have learned.- I started with Qt Core\Widget and will be moving to QML | Qt Quick, and will also have to learn JavaScript, because I also want to learn Qt WebAssembly and so on.
- Not that Qt's Docs aren't great, but I am also going through Brian Cairns Udemy Course on Qt 6 C++. So, yeah, I am motivated.
- My intention was to get this Server full with Students, so we could help and motivate each other during the Learning Process. I know there's the Forum, Community, etc..., but you know how often and how fast one can get to Discord, for example, in comparison to going to the browser and opening the webpage. Also, we would expect some more beginner questions, so, a student would try to answer that and learn more on the go; if we are in the other groups with, say, more experienced devs, we might see the question, but then have no idea how to answer it, since it may be above our current level of expertise haha.
- Also, we can easily share stuff on Discord; even the Invitation Link to the Server haha
Let me know if you'd think this would be a nice idea.
Ah, a page on LinkedIn (The Qt Education - read: The cute education ) would also be nice to kind of make a distiction between the more commercial/industrial and the learning stuff, since the Educational stuff is educational and not Commercial haha.
Thanks for reading. -

I like the idea of a Discord server with students. I believe @Pedro (Qt's Community Manager) needs to be included in this discussion. There already is a general Qt Discord server - should a student channel be added there?
Can you elaborate on what LinkedIn page you mean?

And regarding the LinkedIn Page: well, if you think it's better to have one single Qt thing for everything (case of adding the Student Discord Server to the general Qt Discord Server), then a Qt Academy LinkedIn page wouldn't be necessary, since there's already an official Qt LinkedIn Page.
Anyway,
thanks for replying. -

Hello @HannaQt
Sorry to hijack your thread.
I verified my educational email-id and installed the QT Creator for linux in my personal laptop.
When I open the application it says "Unable to read local Qt licenses - License file /home/anishjp/.qt-license does not exist".
If I login into the QT online portal, I can see I have a valid educational licence there.
How do I get the qt-license file?
