What is a Unity License, and why do you need a Unity License? In this video, I will explain what Unity licenses are and why you need one to start using the Unity game engine. I'll also go through each individual license including the Student license, Personal license, Plus license, Pro license, and Enterprise license. If you're looking for a Unity free license, check out Unity Personal.

Dude thank you! I was so confused

@kine1401 Год назад

Damn this seriously is one of the most ethical licensing systems I’ve seen… pretty cool

@HDMittens 2 года назад

That's facts. Like you can still make good games with only a personal license.

Great video

@jiricapek6717 Год назад

Great video! btw. What game was played from the start as well on the thumbnail?

@indigophoenix0103 Год назад

Thanks for the video! Currently, Havok is only included on the Pro license, as is deployment to game consoles. Does that mean that I can only develop with Havok and test on consoles if I have a pro license, or will I have access to Havok and be able to test on consoles with a Personal license, but only upgrade when publishing the game? It's hard to tell whether (as a complete beginner) we'd need the Pro license from day 1 if the game is intended to be used on console (eventually) or if Havok physics will be used. Please help :-) Thanks!

@BrendanDickinsonUnity 2 года назад

What is your favorite game, and do you know what game engine it was made in?

@scottisitt 2 года назад

How is the $100k or $200k figured? Do you have to recalibrate your earnings after each passing month? And how is the amount you made (and the time span in which it was made) verified?

@jibriljr453 2 года назад

I don't get it too.

@kunkerkar 2 года назад

You keep earning money even if you have passed the 100k or 200k mark in a single year... Only thing is that if u don't buy the plus or pro licence after that u cannot use the unity editor

@Zuranthus Год назад

my guess is every build is tied to an account which is then tracked by their servers, this is how ppl get paid on web browser type games. to d-load Unity you have to sign up with an account, your account will be given a developer ID which will be tied to your Unity environment which will be tagged on any projects you make/publish

@julianshadez Год назад

So let's say I make the 100k (which is still not clear how Unity would know this has happened). And I get the plus, and only make 20k next year, do I still pay for the plus? How long would this go on for? I don't expect unity would expect you to pay that fee forever if your game is not profitable after the first year.

@BrendanDickinsonUnity Год назад

So a lot of people ask how Unity would know how much you make, and the short answer is they don't. I'm sure there are people that abuse that and are able to get around paying anything even though they agreed they would when agreeing to the terms and conditions. I like to think of it like if I've made 100k off a Unity application (in a year) then they deserve some of my money for that success. Plus is only $400/yr and if you're using Unity as your main money making application that's not bad compared to a lot of other software out there. So in the end it's more on the user, and they can come after you in court if you make enough money and don't pay for the appropriate tier license. With regard to the timeline of those profits, you want to look at the last 12 months of revenue. So if you make >100k in the last 12 months you need to pay for Plus, if that drops under 100k after some time, like you described you no longer need to be on the Plus subscription.

@@BrendanDickinsonUnity Thank you for the detailed answer, makes sense!

Of course if you work for a company that uses unity pro you have to use unity pro for your own games at home, as does anyone else in the household unless you apply for a student license which is a pro version. However, you should be aware that any project using that student license when it runs out because the developer is no longer a student, they will be unable to downgrade the projects so will have to redo everything using a free or personal license, except if one of your parents has to use Unity pro then the graduate does if they live at the same household, so at the very least it will cost you 150 a month, or the rent on a new apartment. Of course if you work for a game company that uses Unreal and doesn't use Unity then as a professional developer yoiu can still use Unity free license. Of course if you were one of the truly stupid out there that is an indie developer and bought a pro license prior to Unity creating the free license, well you are stuck with the 150 subscription or deleting the pro license and subscribing to the personal license, the free license is not an option, and of course Unity has created the Unuity hub just to catch out the few people, in fact they seem to spoend way more on making sure that the idiots that supported them financially before Riccitello are screwed over. I personally, know of one developer using the free version of unity for his own game that works as a pro in a company using unity, however, Unity trust the professionals to be honest, as they have no way of linking an individual at home to his work. Then they will retroactively change the terms of the license, now, if you want to develop for console you have to use unity pro, then they change the codebase so often that a great many assets bought in the asset store are useless, in fact, the asset store eco system is such that over the course of a game development you may have to buy an upgrade for an asset as the third party developer changes it to work with the new codebase. You will need to buy thrird party plugins from the asset store to fill the gaps in the engine. The fact that unity has done an about face and has such a toxic licensing system, seems to run endless asset store sales and has become this amazingly money grubbing company, that nickel and domes everyone, does not bode well for its longevity.
