I’ve owned the perpetual license for the Unity Pro for several iterations now. When they made the offer to move to the subscription service for Pro at a discount I was hesitant, but made the change when they offered Pro for $75 a month. I have an office I work at during the day and my home computer I work on at night. Under the old license I could manage 2 installs with no problem, and shared the drive through my dropbox so each stayed synced. However as of today it looks like the subscription license kicked in while I was at worked. I entered it there on that computer and then when I got home it asked for there it there as well. Well it won’t take it on my computer at home, and going to the manage seats says I have none left but I can get another for $125 a month. Is this the way it is suppose to work? I feel duped and utterly confused at how to manage the licenses. I don’t even see a way to revoke the one from work and set it for my home computer. There was an option to clear them in the old version but I don’t see that anymore.
Bump. So nobody can answer if the moving from the perpetual version that allowed 2 computer installs for the same key is reduced to 1 when taking the offer to move to subscription?
I am interested in hearing the answer to this myself.
What I’ve found so far is that under subscription, my account is tied to 1 specific computer. I couldn’t release the seat and reactivate it on my home computer using the same seat key. I had to create an entirely new account and make it part of the first accounts group. That does seam to allow me to switch computers using the same seat. However it is clunky and not nearly as user friendly as the perpetual version was.
I also don’t know yet how that will effect assets (as my week is tied up with other things right now) but I will post once I have a chance to check it. But I fear that will mean my second account will not be able to see my thousands of dollars of purchased assets.
So you have a MacBook and want a Windows install and a Mac Install, you need two seats?
I have a mac, but that don’t use that except for final builds. No I have a work computer and home computer (both windows and synced with dropbox.) Under the perpetual Pro licnese I could have both of those computers using the same account and key. That seems to not be the case anymore under subscription (so I am seeing, but am looking for a dinfinitive answer. I’ve also emailed Unity support days ago about this (when I was forced from my perpetual license to the subscription) and of course no answer back yet from them.)
Sorry you made a question not statement. From what I can tell you will need a second account fro the mac or windows machine and have them join a group under your main account. Then when you want to switch you have release one computer and assign it to the other, which will send you a new key for the second computer. You can no longer use the same key (as it is looking) I think each key becomes specific for each computer. Like I said earlier though this will probably be problematic when you goto grab your assets on the non primary account system as you didn’t purchase those assets from the secondary account.
My biggest problem with this is that I can’t use the same account on different computers. Even if we can only have 1 activated seat at a time, restrict seat accounts PER THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER IT WAS ASSIGNED, is real crap. When we release that seat, we should be able to login to it and assign it to any other computer we want. Not have to play musical accounts.
I hope this is not the case.
It annoys me that I can only have my pro licence active on two machines as it is.
I have a Windows desktop, which lives in my office at work and my Windows laptop which I use at home and a Mac mini for iOS builds (which also lives at the office unless I sling it in my back pack for the weekend).
It is infuriating when you have left the office for the weekend to find out that you had activated pro on the desktop and Mac but really want to do some work from your laptop. I have splashtop installed on all of my devices for when this happens but sometimes I just can’t access my remote computers due to network connectivity issues at either end. Aaaargh!
I quite like Adobe’s ‘sign out of all other computers’ option with creative cloud.
I am currently on a pay quarterly deal for unity pro but will probably move on to a plus sub in around three months. Now that the level 11 freebies are gone and I am under the $200k limit it doesn’t make any sense to pay double what I need to.
It would be good for someone from UT to clarify your situation.
Agreed I have yet to hear anything from staff either from my support email or this thread.
Eula seems pretty clear that two installations per individual is still allowed. Sounds like a technical glitch.
I should have looked at the eula. Thanks for that, so legally they have to allow 2 installs, but it still doesn’t solve my situation with it not working properly like, nor does it fix the lack staff communication on the issue.
Some kind person at Unity i am sure will tell you if the issue is in their side or on yours.
It’s been like half a week, which is kinda unacceptable turnaround time for licensing support imo.
Ya
Perhaps it’s because Unity Personnal issues is very low priority.
Except if you’d read the OP you’d see they’re using Unity Pro.
Unity Personal has no limit on installations though. 
Pro, and I have been a perpetual owner since 4x
