Description
Scenario
The offline installer cannot add components to an existing installation; only the online installer supports this. However, the online installer doesn't let the user install the commercial version of Qt if the user has a perpetual license that doesn't cover the latest version of Qt.
Furthermore, https://account.qt.io/downloads does not allow commercial users to download older versions of the Online installer.

Workarounds
To add a new compoent, the holder of an old perpetual license must uninstall everything and re-install using the offline installer.
Suggestions
1. The offline installer should support adding components. AND/OR
2. The online installer should allow the holder of an old perpetual license to install the version(s) of Qt covered by the license.
