Mixed pro & non-pro licenses during a game jam?
Hi
I'm entering a game jam at the weekend as a member of a 4 person team.
I have a pro license but the other members of my team do not - they are friends who I do not work with.
Not all of the other members of the team are able to take advantage of the free 30 day pro trial, so that's not an option.
I understand there are clauses in the license prohibiting mixed use of Pro with non-Pro licenses, but other than not being able to use the Pro features is there anything (e.g. data incompatibilities) that will physically prevent us from collaborating?
Is the license agreement strict enough that I should temporarily un-license my laptop for the duration of the game jam?
Opinions appreciated, but a definitive answer would be ideal :)

if i read the terms right im sure it is ok aslong as your not making any money off of it
or re-activate on the day and choose free. At the end of the jam you can re-activate using your Pro serial.

Thanks for all the comments, lacking a definitive answer.
The Game Jam went ok, having mixed unity licenses didn't seem to be a problem.

Since Game Jams are usually creative demonstrations and NOT real businesses, you should not actually care. Have fun. If you are making commercial game AND your team is registered company you should respect the EULA. If you are just friends playing / brainstorming I don't thing anyone will care about your project having mixed licenseType assets.
