Qt Solutions
With the goal of making life easier for developers creating applications, Trolltech has launched Qt Solutions. Qt Solutions provides new components and tools to be used with the Qt cross-platform framework in order to help our customers reduce development time even further.
Qt Solutions provides:
- Handy add-on components and tools
- Platform-specific components and tools
- Industry-specific components and tools
- Components and tools that integrate Qt with specific third party products
- Cutting-edge components and tools too new to be included directly in the Qt framework releases
Qt Solutions components are designed to plug directly into Qt projects.

If there is a certain component or tool you would like to see provided by Qt Solutions, please send your suggestion to or post it to the Qt Solutions mailing list.
Price and Licensing
Licensing to use the collection of Qt Solutions components and tools can be purchased in conjunction with, or as an add-on product to, any valid commercial Qt license. See the Qt pricing page for details. Additionally, some components will be dual-licensed, i.e. available under both an open source license and the standard commercial license.
Support and Maintenance
The Qt Solutions license includes support and maintenance service on the same terms, and for the same period, as for Qt itself. Support is offered for all the combinations of Qt versions and platforms listed in the documentation of each component or tool.
The support and maintenance service can be renewed for additional 12-month periods in conjunction with the renewal of the Qt license. Holders of valid Qt Solutions support and maintenance service agreements will also receive all new releases free of charge.
See also the Qt Solutions Technical Guide.
New Releases
Major releases are planned to happen quarterly. These will include new components and tools, and functionality additions to already released components. Maintenance/bugfix releases of existing components are done on a running basis, and are announced just to the Qt Solutions mailing list.
Qt Solutions Technical Guidance
Installation
Each Qt Solutions component and tool contains detailed information on how to install it. Please take a look at the INSTALL.txt file of the respective package for detailed information.
Components are directly compiled into your application. The package contains a .pri file that allows you to integrate the component into into programs that use qmake for the build step.
Supported and unsupported platforms
Each Qt Solutions component and tool states in the documentation and on the web pages on which platforms and with which Qt versions it was tested. These platforms are the officially supported platforms. Other platforms were not tested and we cannot guarantee that the component or tool will compile or run on them.
Some components and tools are known not to run on certain platforms. This is usually due to the fact that they are using platform specific functionality. These platforms are listed in the documentation and on the web pages as unsupported platforms.
