Student Pricing for Unity
I'm a student who has been working with Unity for a while. Unity isn't a part of the school program at the moment and I'm just trying to pick it up on the side. I tried the pro trial when Unity 3 came out, and now it has run out. I'd love to continue to work with the Pro version, but the price of entry is a little steep for me simply being a student. I emailed sales@unity3d.com about student licenses, but never got a reply. I was curious if anyone on here had possibly inquired before and got a response, if they could share the information.
"We do not sell educational licenses to students."
We sell Unity student licenses here: https://store.unity.com/academic/unity-student.
The cost is 100% FREE for all registered students.
start selling educational licenses to students. Your the only software that doesnt have educational licenses and your missing out on the market. If students learn the software because schools could afford to hold a class called UNITY. U do this and those students go along and continue to use unity professionally. Plus, selling some software to schools, means you sell a quota to each school will mean more revenue than you have already. Thanks again, you should fire your market strategist because they lose in the market.
They released a full working free version which is perfect for educational use.
True that!
They are VERY generous with the Indy version, very few features are disabled, the only one that has even been a semi-issue for me was no real-time shadows.
But use the FREE version of Unity if you really want to learn, it's all there.
If you still have a complaint, you're not concerned with learning, you just want to be able to get the full version on the cheap.
However a big problem for missing from free version is Concave Colliders in our Degree (BSc (Hons) Computer Games Program$$anonymous$$g @ Huddersfield University U$$anonymous$$) and we're building a racing game as part of Team Project with no Collision that works so this one is a big problem
@barkermn01 - Perhaps try petitioning Huddersfield Uni to stop being so tight and actually invest in an educational licence for their students then.... what do they spend your £9,000 tuition fees on a games course on if not software licences?! ;)
As a student on a tight budget who wants to develop for Oculus Rift, Unity Pro is completely outside of my price range. I believe they should offer a discounted version if you can prove that you are a student and not a commercial company.
