      Qt for Application Development Perpetual License (expired)

    Description

      Running the Maintenance Tool of an existing Qt installation fails when the perpetual license is expired. After logging in, it's checking for licenses and then notes "No valid license available in your Qt Account for this host platform. Please renew your license(s) from Qt Account."

      Expected Result

      I should be able to click "Next" and reinstall any installed components, or install new (yet uninstalled) components which had been released while the license was still valid.
      If nothing else, I should be able to update Maintenance Tool itself, in regards to the recent announcement about changing the URL.

      Actual Result

      Clicking "Next" checks the license again, and only shows the same error again.

      Justification

      I'm allowed to download and install offline installers from https://account.qt.io/, so it should be possible via the online installer as well.

      Citing the Licensing FAQs:

      2.10. I have a perpetual Qt license, can I continue to use the product if I do not renew the license?

      Yes. You can continue to develop with the version you have but you won’t receive any updates nor have access to Qt support.
