This is fully intentional. We have business requirements, which have resulted
to sub-optimal user experience.
Commercial license agreement denies mixing open-source Qt with commercial Qt.
In installation, this is handled in such a trivial way
that Maintenance Tool does not allow changing the login credentials from the
ones, which were used in the installation - were
they used for evaluation, open-source or commercial usage.
The simple work-around is to re-run Online Installer login page. The installer
can be closed after the login with open-source credentials
and no actual re-installation is required.
NOTE however that after this the commercial installation has been converted to
an open-source installation and all open-source
obligations apply. The better way would be to have two separate open-source and
commercial installations in the first place.
The only use case where this conversion makes sense, if you want to continue
with open-source Qt after evaluation.
