How to check Unity Pro Trial's Expiration Date?
Hi,
I'm currently using Unity Pro Trial version on the Mac. I was wondering, is there a way to check when will the Trial version expires? I've tried looking around, but the "About Unity..." seems to only shows the License Type I'm running on which is "Unity Pro, Team, IPhone Pro, WinStore Pro, BlackBerry Pro, Tizen Pro".
I've also checked my email to see when I received the email from Unity. The problem with this is that I've installed Unity Pro Trial on 2 machines (Windows and Mac) on different date. However I can only find the email for when I installed the Windows version (the first one), I might have accidentally deleted the email for when I installed it on Mac (usually I wouldn't delete any email that is work related so I'm not so sure).
Any idea on how to do this?
When loading the editor the splash screen will show. On it, it will say how many days
"This trail will expire in __ days".
Thanks for the quick reply.
This might sound very silly/ weird, but I can't see any text on the splash screen at all (on the Windows version). While on the $$anonymous$$ac, the splash screen isn't even showing, it directly goes inside the editor (either the whole thing went too fast and I need to slow things down, or there's a settings somewhere for it?).
Is there a way to get the info using scripting ins$$anonymous$$d? Like some function I can call that would return the information?
Click Help>(its one of those like:)>About Unity or >Welcome Screen or >$$anonymous$$anage License
perhaps the last one
Doesn't seems to be the case unfortunately. About Unity only shows the License Type, Serial Number, and Version. Welcome Screen is just links to different things to help start using Unity, and $$anonymous$$anage License also doesn't seem to show anything related to expiration date.
At the moment, I'm pretty confused. I clicked on the "Activate New License" inside $$anonymous$$anage License and it seems to imply that I can activate the Unity Pro Trial even though I'm using it (I didn't actually tried to activate it though). I thought that would mean I wasn't using the Trial version but when I checked on the Windows version, it seems to be showing the same thing.
Are you sure you're not just using the free version (which is not trial-based)?
I did considered that (since I can't find the email for when I installed on $$anonymous$$ac). However, the About Unity does write 'Unity Pro' so I'm thinking that I am using the Pro Trial. And when I checked on the Windows one, it wrote the same thing and I'm pretty sure that one is Pro Trial since I still have the email when I activated it.
Sorry to bump this old thread but I have the same problem as zaid87
I am using the Mac version, and I also want to know and check Unity Pro Trial's Expiration Date, because as zaid87 it does not appear anywhere
There is something curious, that maybe could answer this
The first time I activated the PRO trial, I went to menu Manage License and activated the PRO trial, and then the next day I went to the same and clicked on RETURN License to go back to the FREE license.
9 or 10 days after I went again to test the Unity Pro and made the same thing as the first time, BUT after activating PRO, now it told me that I had 20 days left instead of 30 days.
So I think that it is ONLY shown the days left IF you return the license and then want to activate it again, BUT I do not want to test it a second time as I do not know how many times can you return a license or something could happen when you are using the trial instead of the official license
The trial lasts for 30 days from the date it is first activated, so it's perfectly expected that you only had 20 days left if you checked 10 days after you activated it...
Thanks tanoshimi, yes as you said very well and as it happens with all the other trial software, once activated for the first time, it will last only the amount of days of the trial, either if you use it or not.
The reason I have put this is NOT that I think is an error or something wrong. what is curious is that it seems to be the ONLY place where you can see how many days there is left for your trial, as zaid87 have said well, it does NOT appear anywhere else that I know, and this is something not good that you have to return your license to be able to know how many days are left.
I was wrong thinking that as there is the option that you can return the license, it would probably NOT count the days that pass while the PRO license has been returned and would only count during the days you have it active, but as you have said well, it does not work in this way and once activated you can´t stop it.
