Is there any Admin or Mod who can get this taken care of?
Windows 10 just had like some hour long update, and no matter what I do, my subscription license will not work.
Either says I have reached maximum seats (so I revoke seats and assign), then it says license has expired. (no I’m not behind on payments).
I sent an email to support, but figured I’d post here just encase I can reach someone quicker.
And yes, I’ve tried this page already.
Still don’t work. Not having the same issue as they are.
There’s appears to be a bug with the launcher its self.
Mine is just errors about max activation, etc.
No idea why I’m getting this error when I just revoked the seat and re-assigned it.
Cant help you with the license, but I have the windows update service disabled while im in the middle of doing anything.
You need to return your license via your account, then put in the license details again. This is because the license manager probably thinks enough changed that you are running Unity on a new machine.
How do I do that?
All I can find is an option to revoke the seat and just re-assign it. Which doesn’t work.
Basically try to return all the licenses via the web, then load unity and enter your serial as usual. Sorry I don’t really know more than this but I’m due to update windows now so I’ll give it a go.
Thank you so much man! Wow you are a total life-savor. I will alert the support team just encase.
Thanks mate!
I gave it a go and the same happened to me so I’ll go right ahead and like my own post (cept I can’t) 
Figured it would have happened to ya as well lol.
Wonder what the new update offered that changed so much stuff for that to happen.
Haven’t even looked up the release notes for it. But just glad my Unity works now haha.
The win10 update this time is a bit shocking, I almost can’t recognise my pc because they changed my welcome login screen too.
I just rentered my key, no need to reasign it
The license allow maximum two installations, perhaps the update just ate you one, and you still have one left.
Didn’t even see mine honestly. Just let it auto login me in lol.
Despite using like a 10 year old HD, my Windows 10 literally boots up in like 10-20 seconds. No idea how. Might be the new DDR4 memory and 6 core Ryzen.
Nice hardware, mine is still an old Lenovo. My default win10 welcome screen was changed to a jungle like screen immediately after finished window update, and reboot now give me a iceberg this time, maybe it activated some online resources in behind.
Nah I only have one seat, it have happened alot of times before.
1 seat lets you do 2 installs, i often have my unity pro sub running on 2 machines at a time, and regularly have to release the licenses so other machines can use it since there are 5 machines that i use.
Had some of my own troubles with Unity’s licensing this month… like who the needs all that hassle.
Wish I had taken another animated gif when I had the launcher give me the option to save a license .ulf/alf (one of them) key to file, and then goto the Unity help website to upload the license file… only for Unity’s website to accept the upload but then return back with some error (probably still happens but I couldn’t replicate the useless license/launcher providing a key file as I got proper internet working the following day)… unbelieve though… all because it couldn’t detect my internet connection at the time with tethered usb internet (when every other app could)
The same things every Win10 update offers its users… generally useless crap for its existing crap features for its poor OS design that never improves I couldn’t stand it and everything it stood for so I stick with Win7. And MS is hardly a trustworthy company either, I’m just surprised so many people haven’t bailed out on it. A desktop OS that seems under MS and co’s control more than your own with its auto updating shit pile features. The OS is still like complete garbage 3years on from when it was released totally useless CEO MS have.
I don’t disable the service but rather disable it through the group policy editor which allows me to selectively disable the parts of the update process I don’t want to deal with which is pretty much feature updates after the fall release was a broken mess.
When Windows 10 came out I liked the idea of forcing updates to keep systems secure but all it’s done is break stuff and if the choice is between having to fix broken systems and simply keeping virus scanners up to date then I’ll choose the latter every time.
Good to see even people who were in favor of forced updates are coming around to it being a bad idea. I’m hoping I can hold out long enough on 7 for an entirely new windows to arrive without that forced update stuff… hopes and dreams…
Microsoft had a great opportunity to prove that they would be able to handle a proper rolling release and in the past their updates have generally been successful with the only major hiccups being mostly tied to hardware that was way beyond the point of being usable.
Currently there are two upgrade paths available to most people. Home editions are on an upgrade path where updates are downloaded and installed as soon as they are available but it’s very clear that they are coming out in a beta state.
Business editions are on the same upgrade path by default but they can be set to defer the upgrade through the settings interface which places them on the business upgrade path which allows upgrades more time to mature before release.
There are ways to completely stop the upgrade process but it requires a business edition. You basically have to go into the group policy settings (gpedit.msc) and configure the update process to only notify when they’re available and when they’re ready for installation.
After you’ve gone through the group policy settings you have to run a small script (I’ve pasted it below) that will disable the notification as otherwise it will “remind” you that there are updates available (it shows a dialog box every few hours and when you close it always opens the Windows Update settings window).
