Generate a custom offline installer for on-premises Qt License Server
Follow these instructions to ensure the generated offline installer is compatible with your on-premises Qt License Server instance.
Note: This is relevant if your organization wants to create the offline installer, and instead of using Qt Account based license check, you can configure offline installer to use the onpremises Qt License Server for license checks.
Get the license information
Ensure you have a list of the license numbers to use with the offline installer. The location of the license information varies based on the operating mode of your on-premises Qt License Server instance.
In online mode, verify the license information from your Qt Customer Portal.
In offline mode, verify the license information from the entitlement.json file in the root folder of the on-premises Qt License Server installation directory.
Note: Online mode is available in on-premises Qt License Server version 3.3.0 or later.
Generate offline installer
Note: Use Qt Online Installer 4.8.1 or later.
The generated offline installer contains the license ID. By default, the license ID is from the used Qt Account (--email). Override this with --license-id.
To generate the offline installer, enter the following command:
qt-unified-linux-x64-4.8.0-online.run create-offline qt.qt5.5158.gcc_64
--confirm-command
--auto-answer telemetry-question=Yes,AssociateCommonFiletypes=Yes
--default-answer
--accept-licenses
--root /home/<username>/MyOfflineInstallerFolder
--offline-installer-name myOfflineInstallerName
--license-id <license id>
--proxy-url <server URL>
--email <account@email.com>
--pw <password>qt-online-installer-windows-x64-4.8.1.exe create-offline qt.qt5.5158.gcc_64
--confirm-command
--auto-answer telemetry-question=Yes,AssociateCommonFiletypes=Yes
--default-answer
--accept-licenses
--root /home/<username>/MyOfflineInstallerFolder
--offline-installer-name myOfflineInstallerName
--license-id <license id>
--proxy-url <server URL>
--email <account@email.com>
--pw <password>For the component names, see Component names for installation.
Use offline installer
To use the generated offline installer, enter the following command:
/home/<username>/<installer name>/offlineInstaller.run install qt.qt5.5158.gcc_64
--confirm-command
--auto-answer telemetry-question=Yes,AssociateCommonFiletypes=Yes
--default-answer
--accept-licenses

--license-id <license id>C:\Users\<username>\<installer name>\offlineInstaller\offlineInstaller.exe install qt.qt5.5158.gcc_64
--confirm-command
--auto-answer telemetry-question=Yes,AssociateCommonFiletypes=Yes
--default-answer
--accept-licenses
--root /home/<username>/InstallationDestinationPath
--license-id <license id>Note: As the end-user of the offline installer, you can override the license IDs from Qt Account by using the --license-id option. Use this if the license ID hosted by Qt License Server has changed.
