Can I use an asset from the Asset Store without a Unity License or Full version of Unity?

Question

I have been playing around with Unity for quite a while now. One of the major things that got me interested was the TerraVol voxel terrain system. I am considering buying it from the asset store. However, I do not own the full version of Unity, just the one you can download for free. Nor do I have a Unity license because for the moment I am just using it for my own education/hobby. Can I still use TerraVol without the full version of Unity and without a unity license? Before I go and buy a $65 piece of software I want to make sure I can actually use it.

Free version users are entitled to use the asset store. Just make sure that what you are buying doesn't somehow use Pro Only features to work!

I think what he is asking is if TerraVol uses Pro only features, considering he doesnt have Pro he wouldn't want to waste the money to get it if he cant use the asset.

That is correct, half my question was wither I could use any asset store asset, but the other half was wither I could specifically use TerraVol.

I've noticed that some assets on the asset store have license conditions for the asset itself as well though

Hey I did actually go and email the creators to ask them if TerraVol would work on the free/no-Pro version of unit. This was their response:

"Hi Steven,

Thanks for your interest in TerraVol.

You can be sure it will fully work with the free version of Unity. You will get all features.

If you have any other question please ask me.

Regards, Olivier"

There isn't any "full version", or rather the Unity you're using is already the full version. Unity Pro is just a license, it's not a different download, and doesn't inherently function any differently (just some features are enabled that don't work otherwise). You can't use Unity at all without a license, so if you're using it, then you have a license. That's what you're doing when you register it: getting a license.
