hi, is there a Unity edition that’s free, with less features than pro, but I can keep it for as long as I want? y’know once I upgrade to pro? so basically is there a free edition of unity I can keep forever?
Yes, you are never forced to upgrade to pro, even if some features require it. But I know people that have actually released fully functional games with the free version.
okay cool where do I get it? cause when I go to the download page I only see the unity pro 30 day trial
There is only one piece of software with different licenses. Download Unity and activate free after you download. You don’t have to activate the Pro trial.
That is, you can use a pro trial for 30 days only one time in your life?
You can use it forever, if you buy it.
You can activate it at any time, but you can only use it once. If you need to, you can probably get the Pro trial extended (I feel like i heard our resident hippo say that he has done that), or if you’re a student you could buy the educational Pro license.
