Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some of the standard questions that our sales team get. Please check it to see if there's an answer to your query.
How many systems are a Unity license good for?
One Unity license is good for two simultaneous installations per seat. This is a courtesy service so that you may run Unity on both your laptop and desktop computer, for example. It may only be used by a single person, however, and not simultaneous usage by multiple.
Are there royalties or a per-title fee?
No, Unity does not charge on a per title basis and you do not pay royalties or pay revenue share! Even for games and applications made with the free version!
How can I license or use Unity's source code?
We license Unity source code on a per-case and per-title basis via special arrangements made by our business development team. As this can be quite expensive, we do not generally license source code to smaller operations, educational institutions, nor to companies in countries which do not have adequate legal intellectual property protection.
Can we make and sell games using a trial license?
Our trial licenses are for getting to know Unity and assisting in making a purchase decision. Games made with our trial licenses may not be distributed nor used for commercial purposes. Instead, please use the free version of Unity to make, publish and sell Unity games.
Do you have a floating license system?
Unity Technologies does not offer a floating license system. We can, however, assist in migrating your licenses from one computer to another if a system is replaced, repaired or lost. This is a process performed by our support department and takes about a day.
I would like to develop for a console such as Xbox360, PS3, or Nintendo Wii. What do I need?
Console publishing is not included with Unity Pro-- you will need a special Unity license for each platform on a per-title basis. First, you will need to be a registered developer with the console manufacturer or license holder, such as Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo. After you are registered and approved by the console manufacturer, you will need their devkit hardware and software tools. At that point you can purchase a console license from Unity Technologies for use on a per-title basis. Please use our contact form for more information.
What is the Unity caching product and how can we license it?
We offer a special extension of the Unity webplayer which can cache asset bundles locally. This is licensed under an agreement made by our business development team. Generally it is licensed to developers with a large anticipated revenue and not on a smaller scale basis.
Do you offer paid or premium support?
All Unity customers receive free non-time-limited support by email via support@unity3d.com and our online support forum. Customers also have access to the extensive Unity Answers knowledge base online.
Do you offer training?
Unity Technologies does not have a training program. We can recommend a number of resources, upon request. Our sister company, Unity Studios, does occasionally offer training services and can be contacted via general@unity-studios.com.
