Whoa I downloaded Unity 5 What did i get into?

Well I saw an advertisement saying Unity 5 while scrolling through Unity Answers and then I decided to click it and download it. I have finished downloading and installing it and now it’s asking me for a serial number to activate a license.

I thought this was another update for Unity3d so I went through with it. Is this some sort of extra thing for Unity3d that I have to pay for? Because I’m so confused.

Click “Personal Edition” license. You did the same thing for Unity 4, except it was called Free Edition!

Do not be misconstrued :- This is NOT an update for Unity 4. It is a MAJOR release and is set to Replace Unity 4, although U4 will still be around for some time.

There are large differences and you should not convert your project without

  1. Making a Backup

  2. Realising that after conversion your game will probably be broken

For Pro edition, a new Pro license is required; the license from 4 doesn’t carry over.
