Unity Basic + Pro installed side by side?

Unity Engine

I use Unity both for work and for hobby development. For the former I’ve been supplied with a company-purchased Pro + iOS license for use on work projects and, as I intend to sell my game when it’s done, for my hobby I’ve got my own iOS + Android basic license.

My hobby licenses are installed fine on my desktop PC at home where I can deploy to Android, but I’d like to also install them on my Macbook Pro (in line with 1 developer, 2 installs as per the license) so I can deploy to my iPad. But I don’t want to risk screwing up the Pro license that’s already installed on there for work.

So my question is, can I have two separate licenses installed on the same computer? I know that different versions are ok, but in this case the version is more or less irrelevant.

Cheers!

It might work if you use two different user accounts.

Is there a way I can safely test that?

Make sure you have a backup, so if something goes wrong for some reason then just restore the hard drive from the backup.

My friend tried this, it kept trying to read the same license and wouldn’t recognize that he had two copies installed.

That’s what I’m worried about, and I don’t want to nerf the work license by installing my hobby license. And unfortunately my hobby game is getting to the point where that’s somewhat prohibiting progress.

You can activate two different serials on the same machine but you need to manually move them about depending on which license you wish to use (or use ‘manage license’)

The license (.ulf) is located in Application Support/Unity.

For 3.5 the license file (.ilf) is located in Application Support/Pace AntiPiracy
