Do I HAVE TO upgrade to Unity 5?

News & General Discussion

Hi. I have a working Project in Unity 4 which necessities a Pro license.
The license has expired so I was going to renew BUT I am taken to Unity 5 website.
I tried Unity 5 but my Project requires some amendments on it before it will work :frowning:
I am an Educator and simply wish to use the Project as is until we are ready for our next project which will be using Unity 5.
How can I renew my Unity 4 pro license please?

Afaik if you get a 5 license you automatically have all pre 5 licenses of that kind.

I am an Educator so the one I purchased is a ONE YEAR license. Yep… it has expired :frowning:

It’s always been the case that if you buy a Unity [insert version here] Pro license, it works with all the pre-[insert version here] versions. So yes you do have to buy Unity 5 (Unity 4 hasn’t been sold for a long time), but no you don’t have to use it.

Yes, even the 1 Year educational licenses are backwards compatible. Once you have the license you can download past versions from here http://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive

If you have any more questions about licensing, you can get in touch with your local account manager Unity Customer Service: Technical Support & Training | Unity
