Commercial License or free for Unity free

[Anthoxx]

Hello,

I’m using Unity 3D recently, and I wondered if I needed a special license to sell my future animations?

How it goes for the various licenses?

The short answer is no you don’t need a pro license. The long answer: Legal Information

So if I understand correctly, to sell animations it is mandatory to have Unity Pro?

The free version of Unity is only for personal use?

No, you can use the free version of Unity also for commercial projects.

Actually the better long but still understandable answer is located here:

Can we sell games and make money with the free version of Unity?

Yes you can create and sell a game with the free version of Unity, without paying royalties or any revenue share. However, the free version of Unity may not be licensed by a commercial entity with annual gross revenues (based on fiscal year) in excess of US$100,000, or by an educational, non-profit or government entity with an annual budget of over US$100,000.

Please also be aware that the feature set of the free version is not intended for the production of professional games and interactive content. Lastly, games made with our Pro trial licenses may not be distributed nor used for commercial purposes.

So in short: You can use it for commercial projects until your gross revenue exceeds 100k USD, even though the free version is not exactly meant for professional games. Yet it still works.
