    \section1 1. Apply for Qt Educational license

    Start by filling out the form available \l {Qt Educational License}{here}.

    \note To be eligible for a license, use an email address from an educational institution.
    If we don't recognize your educational institution, \l {send us a suggestion to add it in

    a password.

    \note If you already have an account associated with an educational email address and you are
          renewing the license, this step is skipped.
