Hi @anon8735346 it could be that you’re being affected by this issue: Certificate for https://core.cloud.unity3d.com/ has expired - Unity Services - Unity Discussions
I haven’t heard any news about when they plan to renew the certificate though.
You can verify that this is your issue by checking your license and editor logs.
Windows:
C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Unity\Editor\Editor.log
C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Unity\Unity.Licensing.Client.log
Search that first log for “Tls” and https://core.cloud.unity3d.com/, and search the second log for lines similar to these:
2025-10-11 01:08:46.516 - [ 22200] - [ 35] - INFO - [Unity.Licensing.Client.Services.Licensing.GenesisLicensingService] Trying to delete entitlement license file...
2025-10-11 01:08:46.520 - [ 22200] - [ 35] - INFO - [Unity.Licensing.Client.Services.Licensing.GenesisLicensingService] Entitlement license file deleted.
Your license file (ending in .xml) will also be missing from this folder:
Windows:
C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Unity\licenses\
