1.0. When do I need a Qt for Application Development and when a Qt for Device Creation license?
If you create a device, you need Qt for Device Creation License. When you build a hardware that incorporates, integrates, or links to parts of Qt’s software libraries, it is a device. Also, when the main intended use case of a hardware product depends on Qt’s products and there are no other means for using the hardware for its main intended use case, the hardware is considered a device.
The Qt for Application Development license is sufficient to create applications that run on desktop PCs, mobile phones, or tablets. These kinds of computers are typically used also for reading email, browsing the Internet and so on. A Qt-based application is only one of many applications on these computers. The main use case of these computers is not dedicated to the use of your Qt-based application.
