Hello citizens. I’m going to be running Snow Leopard on my machine in the near future and just wanted to get some indication that this would not spawn problems with the license activation for Unity. I’ve done my research on the forums and could not find any info on exactly what it REALLY means that the software cannot be activated on more than 2 computers (does this mean two physical machines, or even just two different OS’es?). I believe I might have activated Unity 2 times already on the machines I’ve owned since I originally bought it (not sure though, might just be this one). What I’m trying to get at is essentially: will the software still work with a re-formated OS or will it start complaining? If so, do I need to buy Unity again or can something be worked out with Unity Tech? Cheers. Hope this question is not completely stupid (I dread reactivating my Adobe stuff though…omg)
It is a question that gets asked pretty often. The answer is to contact Unity Support so you can work out a solution.
I’m not sure about the Snow Leopard issue, but I know installing it on OSX and Windows on the same machine (using Bootcamp), counts as two installations.
upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 works without reactivation. i guess the same counts if you backup the pace anti-piracy data before cleaning and adding it later again.
Two different computers or operating systems. Thus for folks installing Bootcamp and they install under both Mac and Windows that counts as the two activations.
In your case though, you’re upgrading the existing machine and we’d happily help you through any reactivation issues on that same machine no hassles. If you get prompted to reactivate then just drop us a line at support@unity3d.com and we’ll take care of you.
