Running Unity FREE license on school computers
Hi,
So my issue is this, I'd love to start developing with Unity, but my laptop PC (as much as I love it) just doesn't have the power.
So, I decided that the computers at school would fit my needs (I attend the Art institute) I feel as though the computers there would be powerful enough,however, I know that installation on ONE computer would be fruitless, as the computers are wiped everyday to maintain efficiency.
So, my problem is this; How can I maintain a free license on a computer that I would theoretically install over and over again. Is there a way to have the software installed on an external HDD that I can then plug into the computer and play? I will re register every time if I have to, but it just seems impossible to make progress when I lose all my data every single time i log off.
This seems to be my only option as I cannot afford to buy a new computer, and have powerful new Macs at my disposal.
Please, I would appreciate any insightful answer that may lead me to be able to develop on the unity platform using one of the school's computers as stated above.
Thank you very much,
-Michael
Unity doesn't require that much power to run, even my 2010 laptop can run it relatively well. Perhaps you just need a pc upgrade? ;)
Why not ask your school to purchase Unity licenses?
Hmmm, isn't there something in our rules somewhere against shameless advertising plugs :)
Its a good idea though. Far more people would learn far more program$$anonymous$$g if building games was a legitimate question.
So because this is a question from 2014, lets answer it with a link from 2010: https://answers.unity.com/questions/19893/unity3d-portable-installation.html Not sure if this is still possible but he, other people did it.
you need to bypass the admiration usually school administrators are connected to wifi try turning off the wifi and trying it again here is my email if you still need help.

hope this works (:
What you said is wrong on multiple levels. First of all messing with the infrastructure of a school to bypass any security measures they implemented is against the school rules. If actual damage is caused you can get into trouble. Second Unity has special licenses for schools. You are not allowed to use a personal license in a school. So you would breaking the eula and license agreement of Unity as well.
Also do not post personal contact information in your answers. UnityAnswer is meant as a knowledge base for all users of Unity. Personal contact bypasses the community.
