Question by chris12345 · Sep 11, 2013 at 07:24 AM · unity 4trial

Unity Pro Trial - simultaneously on Win and Mac?

Hi guys,

can someone tell me, if i can register a 30 day Trial of Unity Pro once per operating system or only once per computer? I'm working on a macbook with Mac OS X 10.8.4 and Windows 7 over 'Bootcamp' installed.

So, can i register now the Unity Pro Trial on my windows OS and later again on my Mac OS? Btw. would i have to register a 2nd account then?

(It's quite important, because i essentially need the trial on Mac OS in a few months for a university project, but i want to test out some of the Pro-Features on a hobby project now).

Thanks in advance,

Chris

this has been asked 10000 times. could moderators just close duplicates.

Yes, you get TWO INSTALLS (ONLY) with any unity license. enjoy!

mh, sorry for the duplicate, but I didn't find 10000 topics like that exact issue on google...

$$anonymous$$aybe my chosen title was misleading, but the text should has made it clear: $$anonymous$$y question was NOT about simultaneously use of Unity on Win & $$anonymous$$ac in general, but about registering the Trial version on two different operating systems on two different times.

Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately this still doesn't makes it clear, if I can NOW register Unity Pro Trial on my windows OS and then register it (with my same unity account) e.g. 4 $$anonymous$$ONTHS LATER on my $$anonymous$$ac OS again. I doubt this is possible, so i asked if i would need to register a 2nd unity account to do this.

I know that once the time limit starts - it starts, and that's it. hope it helps!

ok, it's a pity, but i already thought, that this won't work. Thanks anyway, Fattie and sorry again for the confusion ;-)

yup that's the answer.

you know, using your judgement I think it would be reasonable to use the test for a short time now, and then, simply drop an email to the guys and tell them you need to restart the test due to the situation, or perhaps just pick up another test (use moderate judgement on this but it seems reasonable here, you're kind of a different entity. maybe your class could get a trial, you know, rather than "you personally")

the time limit DOES start and run only once from a specific date. you can't "delay" it until later.


When you purchase a licence for Unity, it is given two activations - That being you can install it on two machines, as long as you are the one using unity on both of those machines.

That logic predicates that this should be fine when using a trial as well. As far as I am aware, the only limitations posed on you during the trial are the time limit and the fact that you are not allowed to sell your work made in this trial without an actual pro licence.

Thanks Azmodii for your answer, but as commented above, i don't want to register the Trial simultaneously on both OS. I wanna test out the PRO Features now to practise and then i need the Trial for my university project in about 4 $$anonymous$$onths again.
