Definitions of "user" and "Unity software" in Pro/Plus licenses
On this page, the term "seat" for the Pro/Plus license is explained using this text:
"When you subscribe to Unity, you purchase a number of seats, which concede access rights, according to Terms or Service, for each person in your Organization that will be using Unity software.
For example, if you have 10 users on your Organization, you need a Unity Pro subscription with 10 seats, with each seat costing $150/month."
In that last line, my understanding is that:
- A "user" is a developer using the Unity editor (i.e., the development suite/dev tools)
- A user is not someone else in the company using what was developed with Unity
For example, if you have 10 people in your organization but only 5 of them will be using the Unity dev tools, you need a Unity Pro subscription with 5 seats (not 10). It doesn't matter how many people end up using the app that your 5 Unity developers make with Unity. Is this correct?
This seems like the obvious interpretation, but I need to confirm it for certain, and I can't find it in the Terms of Service. Thanks.

You are a user, anyone using Unity in a capacity which requires a pro license is a user. Dev or not. i.e. an artist that loads in assets into unity is as much a user as a developer that writes code against it.
Any person in the company that needs the unity editor (not just the runtime) on their machine is a user.
If they just need to use an application written against the Unity framework ... then no they are not.
