I've looked around and consulted the googles, but I can't seem to pinpoint this: In order to purchase and use i.e. unity android(basic), do i need to buy unity pro first and then tack on the android basic license OR can I use unity free(unpaid) with android basic(paid)?
tl;dr Staring with no paid license: To use unity android, do I need to raise $400.00 or $1900?
Looks like not only is the text on the store page very clear now, it also automatically dims the unavailable options when selecting licenses, so to answer my own question, mobile platform licensing looks like this:
Android Basic: Requirements: [none] Total Cost: $400
iOS Basic: Requirements: [none] Total Cost: $400
Android Pro: Requirements: Unity Pro Total Cost: $1900
iOS Pro: Requirements: Unity Pro Total Cost: $1900
iOS and Android Basic can be used with the free version of Unity
