The eligibility verifications are the "automated audit" inquiries referred to in our Qt for Small Business webpage, which are designed to:

1. Confirm and validate your eligibility for the Qt for Small Business plan.
2. Complete any necessary compliance related inquiries.
3. Assist in migrating you to a standard priced license if you no longer qualify for the Qt for Small Business plan.
4. Assist in connecting you to an Account Manager for purchasing Distribution Licenses, when needed.

The first eligibility verification occurs within the thirty (30) days of your initial purchase. There is then annual eligibility verifications which occur within sixty (60) days prior to your license renewal.

As part of the Small Business eligibility verification, we are asking for you to provide your state and/or country business tax filing documentation. This is to properly validate your eligibility as a business and ensure you are within the revenue threshold. 

If you are a recently registered business, please respond to the eligibility verification email and a License Management Specialist will work with you to determine the best course of action.

To ensure the security of your financial documentation for the Small Business eligibility verification, there is a limited number of team members who are trained to receive and review this information. 

We encourage you to redact any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) which is not pertinent to the validation of your business name, business address, VAT, revenue, and funding.

Please coordinate with your License Management Specialist prior to sending any documentation to ensure your privacy expectations are met for the eligibility verification.

 

Unfortunately, this means we will need to suspend your license access and then cancel the subscription to prevent the next renewal from occurring.
