500 - Internal Server Error

I’m trying to launch Unity for the first time. In the license screen, I select free license, and try to log in. When I do so, I get internal server error.

Also getting this error

Got the same error, can’t do anything right now.

glad to know I’m not the only one… best thing to do is take the night off, issue will likely be resolved early morn.

I was able to start Unity by saving the license file and uploading it at Unity - Activation. Each time I got a server error, I simply refreshed and continued along the process.

This worked for me as well. Thanks!

Worked for me, too. Persistence is the key. Thanks.

I’m getting this also… damn bad luck. Firstly Mono stopped talking to unity3d… no script line linking… having to search through the code for the error… I gave up, uninstalled everything , now this… what am I paying for again? headaches?

its fixed now

tried, still nothing…

Still not working for me too. It’s morning already, will try again later this afternoon.

I got the same 500 internal error several times.
Refresh your screen several times, quit Unity and relaunch. Doing that, I was able to save and uploading the license.
After that, same problem, several screens with Error 500, and again relaunch and, at last, it worked…

Thank you so much

Manual activation works, but you will have to press reload several times. Also, once you manage to download your licence, I suggest to disable internet access so unity will load manual activation page. Still, what the heck is wrong with this thing?

I’m experiencing the same problem.
I just downloaded Unity and wanted to give it a try. I’m pressing “activate the free version” ang getting internal server error.
I think I will delete Unity and never try it again. Must choose something else. Something that just works.

Same problem! :s but I dont have a refresh option on my window for it…

I think Unity is being ddos’d, forums, asset store and licensing server has been even slower than usual (and that’s saying a lot at least in regards to the asset store).

I just kept trying the whole process from the beginning (there is no refresh button for me either). In my case I manually uploaded the license file (paid vsn). Took about 3 or 4 tries - finally it offers the option to manually save/load the license file. I just happened to be moving Unity from my Mac to Windows at the time this error is occurring.

having same problem. yesterday on MACOS, but finally got through. today no success on Win7.

I just tried and it’s working now. I didn’t get one 500 error. Try it now.
