How to Build Qt License Service from sources

Override the default user ID

By default, Qt License Service reads the username of the currently logged-in account on the operating system.

The username is used in license usage reporting and in ACL management by On-Prem Qt License Server and Offline Qt License Server.

To override the current username, enter:

export QTLICD_CLIENT_USERNAME=john
set QTLICD_CLIENT_USERNAME=john

Note: Ensure the specified username matches the user ID in the acl.json file.
