Can I build a Unity Pro project using Unity free?
Hey there, I'm a student and I've been looking to experiment with CI/CD using GitHub Actions with Unity. To do so, I must activate the unity that will build the game in GitHub's runner. My project I'd like to build does use Unity Pro features. I was wondering if it would be legal and possible to build a Unity Pro non-commercial project using a free version of Unity.
You are not allowed to build a Unity Pro Project with a free version. However, as a student, unity offers Pro license for free there : https://store.unity.com/academic/unity-student. Once activated, you can build your project without any problem
I am aware Unity offers students a free Pro license through GitHub student pack, and have in fact claimed it. However, since I'd need to activate Unity Pro on my personal computer to actually work on the project AND on the GitHub runner (Which is a separate virtual machine hosted on GitHub servers) to build it, it would require two licenses (Correct me if I'm wrong, please).
The license is for your account so I guess you should be able to use it twice (I personnally use it on two distinct computers). I'm not familiar with Github runner so i can't help you more, sorry.
