Whenever I've had a look at QT I've never been able to figure out what the licensing costs.
Does anyone know what it costs to license QT creator for a single commercial developer targeting desktop and mobile platforms?
When I looked at their 'try and buy' page it says 'contact us'
- nib952051 13y agoYou should check the http://qt-project.org/downloads http://qt-project.org/downloads and just download the QtCreator
- jnbiche 13y agoQT is under LGPL so unless you need to alter the QT source without open sourcing your changes, you can use it with no licensing costs.
- barking 13y agoThanks, that's a very good deal!
- blub 13y agoIf one does not need technical support, one can use the open source edition on the desktop and on Android. On iOS one would need the commercial edition due to the restriction on dynamic libraries preventing the use of LGPL. At least a couple of years ago it used to be around 2500 EUR / platform.
- flohofwoe 13y agoMinor but important detail: With the LGPL license version you must link against the Qt DLLs and cannot statically link Qt into the executable. If this is not a problem (and you don't modify Qt itself), then the LGPL version is absolutely fine for commercial, closed source applications.
