Actually it searches for a 'qtlicenses.ini' file here, that is usually created & updated by the Qt Installers...

This location should work. Please double check that the file is there (without any hidden .txt suffixes or so), and that your Jenkins job has read access to it.

One difference is that the license is now checked for the licenses also when running qmake, see also the ChangeLog. In earlier versions it was only run at configure time.

May I suggest to open a ticket via the Qt Support?
