Heads up for anyone on a commercial license (this does not affect the LGPL-Version): Qt6 does not offer a perpetual license anymore, you need to switch to a subscription license. The catch is that you need a subscription license not only for development but also for distribution, meaning: you need to have a subscription for as long as you distribute your software with Qt6 under the commercial license!

Again: This only affects the commercial version! Nothing changes if you're using the LGPL version.

EDIT: You also need a license if you only use your software with the commercial Qt6 license.
