\section1 Step 1: Install the License File (Commercially Licensed Qt Only)
- If you have a commercial Qt license, download the license file
- from your \l {Qt Account} Web portal and save it to your home directory
- as \c{.qt-license}.
+ If you use Qt with a commercial license, the Qt tools look for a local license file.
+ If you are using a binary installer or the commercial Qt Creator, your licenses
+ are automatically fetched and stored in your local user profile
+ (\c{%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Qt\qtlicenses.ini} file).
+
+ If you do not use any binary installer or Qt Creator, you can download
+ the respective license file from your \l {Qt Account} Web portal and save
+ it to your user profile as \c{%USERPROFILE%\.qt-license}. If you prefer a
+ different location or file name, you need to set the \c{QT_LICENSE_FILE}
+ environment variable to the respective file path.
