Question by evanblack · Sep 27, 2011 at 08:32 PM · downloadinstallationfreeregistration

I thought Unity was free? Why is it asking me to register?

I finally got Unity3D (from a different computer downloading to a thumb drive) and I installed it. First it says that the date was inconsistent with release (which shouldn't matter seeing that THIS IS A FREE VERSION!) But after installing it would not allow me to use UNITY3D. It immediately requested that I register or quit.

I don't see what the problem is. the indie version is free- that's true.. registering does not mean you have to pay. UT likes to know who's using their engine.. so they require you to register it if you're going to use it.. paid or otherwise. So suck it up and register :P

It is free. The registration process is free: it's just another user account.

For free users, like me, registration seem excessive, but it is helpful in the long run:

  • It allows the asset store attached to Unity to run smoothly.

  • It allows you to greater access to support provided by Unity.

  • It gives you access to a 30 day free trial of the pro version of Unity.

  • If you decide to buy the Pro version, registering now makes upgrading easier.

It does not appear necissary at first, but the registration is free, and it makes things run smoother in the long run.
