First of all please create a bug report on https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10512 for your issue.

Qt Creator 14 switches to a different license backend.
As a workaround for now, you can opt-out of that by running Qt Creator with the environment variable QTC_USE_NAMEDLICENSE=1 (e.g. with "QTC_USE_NAMEDLICENSE=1 open ~/Qt/Qt\ Creator\ 14.0.0-beta1.app" or the corresponding path in your setup from Terminal.app).

Br, Eike
