Unity Personal License

[Shereenh]

I’m a beginner Unity artist. I work as a freelancer for a company that makes home visualization, I also has Unity training program by them. I import geometries, work on them, then I export packages to upload for them.
Is there any trouble to use personal license if my gross revenue in a year is less than $100,000?

From your situation as you describe, your revenue doesn’t matter. The revenue of the company you are freelancing for is what matters. See below.

@Unity Software Additional Terms

Total Finances are measured like this:

• if you are a Legal Entity using the Unity Software (other than to provide services to someone else), your Total Finances are your gross revenues and/or funding (no matter what the source), or, if you are a Not-for-Profit Entity, your budget for the entire entity (not just the department using the Software),
• If you are an individual or a Legal Entity providing services to a third party, your Total Finances is deemed to be your customer or client’s Total Finances, and
• if you are an individual using the Unity Software, but not providing services to a third party, your Total Finances are the amount generated in connection with your use of the Unity Software. In this case, your Total Finances would not include amounts you generate from other work (for example, if your day job is as a zookeeper).

Thanks for referring to this point
This company is not a gaming company. Unity is used in a phase from multiple phases to release the last product. Also, how I could know their revenue and I’m not part of the companies shareholders?

This company is not a gaming company.

Irrelevant.

@Shereenh

Unity is used in a phase from multiple phases to release the last product.

Also irrelevant. You’re paying for the editor usage rights, not for releasing products.

@Shereenh

Also, how I could know their revenue and I’m not part of the companies shareholders?

Ask them, Send the the URL of the license and ask them what Unity they are using and what Unity they must use according to the license.

Thanks for replying.
What I mean that the revenue they have
not a revenue of only using Unity. They use other softwares and project management platform. So, how can they account company’s revenue is >$100,000 for using Unity?

Moved to getting started since it does not seem like you have much familiarity with Unity if posting in package manager.

If you are freelance:
If you make <100k per year you pay nothing.

If you are an employee:
If the company makes <100k per year nobody pays anything.

If you are a company using unity at all in any way:
If the company makes <100k per year nobody pays anything.

[hippocoder]

Edited, so basically if you are freelance and earning under 100k a year, you are OK.

I have edited my post for clarity, so I will not respond to that. I also won’t respond to any more questions about this. You need to contact customer support for a clearer answer that would be legally correct for your circumstances.

Unless you are providing services to a third party in which case per the software additional terms section of the license agreement the finances taken into account are the client’s finances. If I make $25K per year and my client has total finances of more than $100K I have to buy Plus and if more than $200K I have to buy Pro.
