machine identification is invalid for current license unity
At some point my unity stopped working and will now give me this error everytime I try to activate my personal license.
Timeline: 1. Unity was working fine. 2. Had a windows update 3. Made a change to the GPU timeout for substance painter 4. Had Docker running but closed it out 5. Also had a VPN hider running (this might be relevant but I am not sure) closed it 6. Log into unity hub again 7. Must activate license alert - tried activating it 8. Machine Identification error Solutions: 9. Uninstall, reboot and reinstall unity - same error 10. Uninstall, delete all hidden directories or unity, reboot, download and reinstall unity hub, -same error 11. Uninstall, delete all hidden directories or unity, close all VMs and other programs assigned machine ids, reboot, download and reinstall - same error.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I can do? I looked at the .ulf file and see that my machine id for my desktop is not in the file, so I added it but unity hub deletes it upon refresh.
I haven't encountered unity deleting anything yet, but i'm not sure if this will help: https://youtu.be/mLjHHTryBEY
I faced this issue when trying to create a CI/CD pipeline for Unity that will run on the cloud. I tried running my pipeline with the ulf generated from the alf that was generated in my local device.
Probably, your image in your docker container is treated as a different device from your own device. At least in my case, cloud image was treated as a separate machine.
I had fixed my issue by downloading the .alf from within the image, go to unity manual license activation generate ulf, and upload the text in the ulf as a variable in Gitlab CI/CD.
