Question by liangshuangde · Jul 18, 2016 at 04:56 AM · license

Can I use Unity Free in Big company without earn money or even publish it when using it.

I have gone through EULA, I didn't find any clue about the revenue.

My situation is I sit in a big company which may make money far more than $100k, however, as we are not in the game industry, my employer would not earn money by making game or something else using Unity.

I plan to make program using Unity to prove some of my idea, I neither plan to earn money by making it nor publish it to public.

So my question is: Can I use Unity Free in Big company without earn money or even publish it when using it.

I think as long as you earn less than 50.000 usd a year you should be fine. Just google it there are already answers on the unity page for you.

regarding the "Untiy Personal Edition""An annual revenue capacity or funds raised capacity of $100k per fiscal year exists for Personal customers. An annual revenue capacity or funds raised capacity of $200k per fiscal year exists for Plus customers. Pro and Enterprise customers have unlimited revenue capacities." That´s what Unity states on this website

If it is personal use only and no one other than your company is using the application you make I am 90% it´s fine to use the Unity Personal edition.

If you put your application into the internet, then i guess you have to buy Unity pro or Unity Plus. (normal Unity is fine with 100.000Usd plus is fine with 200.000usd and the otehr two are fine with whatever you get).

thanks for your explanation, your guess is what I understood, and hope, however, without 100% confirmation, in order to avoid legal risk to my employer, I would try another way.

I contacted Unity sales for this questions, so far no response, I will paste the response here once I get it.

Thanks again for your promptly and detail response.

Let me answer my own question.

After very long time waiting, I got the response from Unity Local Team, very formal email which information is almost the same as I can get from other channels (website or advertisement). After I reply his email with further question. for months no response at all.

As I raised a discussion on this in our company involving very large group of staffs, we still not get the conclusion. Finally my employer(in deed it's just my manager) decide to buy me one pro license.
