Hello,
I’m working on a project in Unity 4.7.2f1, but I have a problem: when I build, the ‘Powered by Unity’ splash screen still appears despite having a Pro license.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you disable Show Splashscreen/Logo in Player Settings? It’s not automatically removed as far as I know.

There are nothing like that in Unity 4 in Player settings.

Hmmm … I couldn’t find anything particular about the logo vs Pro license in the 4.x manual.

Just this license activation page, perhaps this helps. Be aware that the “manual activation” process no longer works.

I also searched in the manual but found nothing. Do you think it’s possible that it worked automatically before, but now with the server down, the splash screen is bugged ?

To be honest, I have no clue. Unity 4 is so old it’s quite possible it doesn’t work correctly anymore. And I never worked with a Pro license in Unity 4, probably not even Unity 5 I think.

When Unity changed their licensing services (roughly 2 years ago) users with older Unity versions (2018, 2017, 5 ..) had some issues initially, but these all got resolved eventually I suppose because license complaints eventually just stopped getting posted.

does editor.log display any license related info?

but better submit support ticket at least,
pretty sure those old license were sold as perpetual licenses..

I see my license in the Unity Hub, and it says it ends in 2125.

what if use without hub?

did the splash screen appeared recently (for example after hub update?),
or has always been there?

There was a very old project (from 2014). The build from that time didn’t have the watermark. I tried to build it again, and now the watermark appears. When I first received it, it was impossible to open it without the Hub, because the old license server was down. I just tried without the Hub, but the watermark is still there.

A colleague found something called USSR (Unity Splash Screen Remover), which explains how to remove the splash screen using a Git project named UABE (Asset Bundle Extractor). This tool allows you to open Unity files (such as .asset) as well as settings files. I found a setting marked as false called isNoWatermarkBuild. If I change this value, it removes the watermark at the start. But if there is something in the editor that allows this, I would rather use it.
