1. Please visit our online store at qt.io/pricing; you can find the detailed Small Business subscription descriptions here.
2. Click on the tab "Small Business", choose your subscription (either ADE-SB or DCP-SB), and click on "Add to Cart".
3. Select the number of developer licenses. Please note that a maximum of 3 small business licenses are allowed per company.
4. Click on "Go to Checkout" and log in to your Qt Account to finish the purchasing process (or create a new Qt Account).
5. Read and accept the Qt Frame Agreement and Qt Terms & Conditions. B>y clicking accept, you represent that your company fulfills the Qualified Small Business criteria as defined in the Qt Developer Framework Appendix, Exhibit 2 Small Business Terms (your company's annual revenue/funding is <$1M).
6. Proceed with completing the purchasing process and finishing the payment.

To purchase additional Qt for Small Business license(s) when you already have at least one:

1. Log into your Qt Account.
2. Go to and click on the "Payments" option in the menu on the left side.
3. Once the page loads, click on the description of the purchase (this is green-colored font).
4. Update the purchase quantity to add the licenses needed (limited to three (3) total).
5. The system will then calculate a new price for you based on the quantity and send you an email with the additional license(s).

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.

The first eligibility verification occurs within the thirty (30) days of your initial purchase.

If you are eligible for the small business pricing at the beginning of your license term, you retain the right to use the license(s) for the entire 12-month term.

Unfortunately, this means we will need to suspend your license access and then cancel the subscription to prevent the usage.

As long as you qualify for a Small Business license, you will have a vaiwer for purchasing Qt for Device Creation Distribution Licenses.

This vaiwer is defined in Qt Developer Framework Exhibit 2, section 6.

If you no longer qualify as a Small Business, all normal licensing terms and conditions as well as prices, including Distribution Licenses, will be applied to your business from the day onwards you ceased to qualify as a Small Business.

To cancel your Qt for Small Business subscription(s):

1. Log into your Qt Account
2. Go to the "Payments" option listed on the menu
3. Go to the "Upcoming Payments" section
4. Click on the description of the purchase (this is in green-colored font)
5. Click on "Cancel"

Your subscription will be canceled upon your next renewal date. When your subscription has ended, you will not be able to access Qt Creator, Qt Installer, and Maintenance Tools, and all your rights to further use Qt sources or modules will end. You must uninstall your commercial Qt. Our tools and modules are only available with an active subscription.

Note that when you wish to cancel your subscription renewal, you need to do that no less than thirty (30) days before the renewal (Appendix for Qt Development Framework, section 5.1.4).

When cancelling the Qt for Small Business subscription, a partial credit may be issued under the following scenarios:

2. Your subscription was renewed in error.

The partial credit is calculated based on the remaining unused months of the license purchase.
