Can I reuse editor extension assets for multiple projects/games? (Accelerator Pack)
I realize this is a bit of a repost from this: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/381080/if-i-buy-something-on-the-asset-store-can-i-use-it.html but I still had questions and I feel the original question is dead and there's no point adding to it.
Alright, so I'm just a tad confused about the legals of purchasing an asset and if you can reuse them. I'm currently under the impression that for all unity purchased assets that are NOT editor extensions such as art, sound etc. it is perfectly legal to reuse them in other games without having to rebuy the asset unless the developer has noted otherwise.
1 Is this true?
For editor extensions, I dunno. I was looking to get the accelerator pack, but I didn't want to lose the assets if I cancel pro and I wan't to use them in multiple projects. Except, they are all editor extensions (I think).
2 The legals are confusing for me and I was wondering if someone could tell me if I am allowed to reuse editor extension assets and keep the accelerator assets if I cancel pro.
Here's an exerpt from @BoredMormon
From the license. Check the full license for details
2.3
EXCEPT FOR EDITOR EXTENSION ASSETS, END-USER is granted a license to install and use Assets on an unlimited number of computers provided that these computers are either all (i) physically located at a single physical location ("Site") belonging to END-USER, or (ii) laptops belonging to END-USER which have been made available by END-USER to its employees that are employed at the same Site provided all such computers have appropriately licensed Unity software installed. Consequently, any Asset may only be used at particular Site or on computers assigned to END-USER's employees employed at the same Site and may only be moved to another Site subject to prior written approval from Licensor. THIS CLAUSE 2.3 DOES NOT APPLY TO ASSETS THAT IN THE UNITY ASSET STORE ARE CATEGORIZED UNDER THE HEADING "EDITOR EXTENSIONS."
2.4
Editor Extensions: END-USER is granted a license to install and use any Assets which are categorized in the Asset Store as "Editor Extensions" only on one (1) computer. For the avoidance of doubt, Editor Extension Assets are licensed on a per computer basis may not be shared or used concurrently on different computers.
You can use them to make multiple games, you only need to buy more than one copy if you're installing them on multiple computers.
Awesome! Gonna wait a little longer to see if anyone else has something to add, more specifically about the accelerator pack, then I'll accept the answer.
This is certainly generally true. I don't know if there are any additional restrictions on the accelerator assets granted with the Pro licence however.
To be honest, you won't get an authoritative answer here anywhere - the users here are (mostly) not lawyers and (mostly) don't work for Unity. You should really contact someone who ticks at least one of those boxes....
Good call. You think I should see if I could pm a unity rep? @tanoshimi
