Unity Pro iPhone Basic - Watermark

Unity Engine
1

Hi all,

I currently have a licence for Unity Pro and have been trialing iPhone Basic (think i have 2 days left on this).

I’m currently working on a prototype in Unity 2.5 (not iPhone) and created a standalone Intel OSX build and the Indie watermark is showing on loading. Is this correct??

I realise that I only have the Indie iPhone, but I would like to remove the watermark for projects done within Unity2.5 built as standalone.

I have check the ‘about Unity’ stuff in 2.5 and it says my licence is for UnityPro and iPhone Basic, even though i never updated the licence for this when i installed iPhone Basic.

Regards,
Matt.

When your trial finishes, reactivate your Unity Pro license with your original license key. (you can reactivate your copy of Unity from within the editor)
If after doing this you still get the indie watermark contact us at support@unity3d.com and I’ll look into this for you.

I have reactived my Unity Pro and everything is fine again.

When I buy iPhone Basic next week will this mean i will get watermarks with standalone Unity apps even though i have unity pro?

No, that won’t happen. The deal here is that Unity and Unity iPhone are not licensed separately, you only ever license them together. What that means is that you don’t own “Unity” and separately own “Unity iPhone”, you only ever own “Unity with Unity iPhone”. In your case what happened here is that you own Unity Pro, but when you asked for a trial you were given a “Unity Pro with Unity iPhone trial” license, thus inducing the watermarks for your stand-alone builds as your fully owned Unity Pro license is not in use right now. When you buy the Unity iPhone Basic add-on, you’ll have Unity Pro with Unity iPhone Basic (notice no “trial” in there) and go back to building watermark-free standalone content as you won’t be using a trial license for Pro anymore. :slight_smile:

Sorry to bump this old thread - did not want to start another.

I have a related question about watermarks. We own Unity Pro and are about to purchase Unity iPhone basic. Will we have watermarks / Unity logos on our iPhone apps?

HiggyB, reading your post it sounds as if the only determining factor for watermarks is your Unity licensee (indie or pro).

Thanks!

@techbinge: not quite, you’ve misread/misunderstood…

You own Unity Pro, thus you will have no watermarks/logos shown when publishing desktop and/or web content.

If you add-on Unity iPhone Basic then you will have the “powered by Unity” splash image shown (there are a few to choose from) during app launch and engine initialization for your iPhone apps. If you want to remove that from your iPhone apps then you’ll need to buy or upgrade to Unity iPhone Advanced.

It’s all outlined on the License Comparison page, give that a look and let us know if you have any other questions!

Ah! Indeed, the comparison page is quite clear. Did not see the link to that before. Thanks!

We are using Unity Pro and still get the powered by Unity splash screen. How do we get rid of this?

if it is a bought Unity Pro license it should not be there unless activated in the player settings.

if you are on the unity pro trial you can’t disable it

10

Exactly. And to help with an extra tidbit of information, you can find the Player Settings dialog by going to Edit > Project Settings > Player…

OK, I should know this but, where do we see the choices for the splash image and set it to the one we want?

12

See the iphone documentations that come with the unity iphone installation, they will answer it :slight_smile:

Cool. Thanks for the tip. I assumed that Tom meant we could choose from different image styles but according to the docs you can only choose the image orientation.
For anyone else who might want to know:

Nope, I only meant a few variations based on layout and hoped everyone would just do like you and RT*M. :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:
