Unity 3D automated build on Windows Server 2003
As mentioned in Unity Reference, it is possible to start Unity with the arguments "-batchmode" and "-nographics". That works so far to build an .exe File from my Unity game project, but the problem is, that i cannot use pro features in this case. I have several pro licences purchased, but i cannot even start Unity itself on the Server (Windows Server 2003, Virtual with VMWare) to enter the serial because it does not have 3D Acceleration and / or Hardware Acceleration.
Does anyone know, how to get my Unity version on the Server to a pro version? Or is it possible to build a game that has pro features with a standard Unity licence?
To build my game i use (in a batch): %__unityPath% -batchmode -nographics -projectPath "%__projectPath%" -logFile "%~dp0\log.txt" -buildWindowsPlayer "%__exePath%\%__gameName%.exe" -quit
Thank you in advance!
Unfortunately the only solution seems to be to use a PCI passthrough for the GPU from the server itself to the VMWare Station.
We managed to du this with a Radeon HD 4650, we tried earlier with a nVidia Quadro, but it was not working as passthrough device.
With the passthrough i managed to get hardware acceleration and Unity started where i applied my serial number.
I have found another solution:

Short: Use $$anonymous$$esa3D as OpenGL renderer and set Unity to use software OpenGL. This can be used to activate the Pro License by opening the Editor in software OpenGL mode.
