Can I enter my license key via command line?
I'm trying to install Unity on a remote Mac server via command line, and I have a Unity Pro license key that I'd like to activate.
Activation needs to happen using the GUI. There is no command-line based activation possible.
How is it done on servers that do not have a graphics card?
i tried many times for syntax: unity -quit -batchmode -nographics -execute$$anonymous$$ethod Build.buildAndroid -username mymail@gmail.com -password mypass -serial XXXXX-YYYY-$$anonymous$$Y-SERIAL but all of them failed with below error message after 1$$anonymous$$ute: DisplayProgressbar: Unity license Cancelling DisplayDialog: Failed to activate/update license. Timeout occured while trying to update license. Please try again later or contact support@unity3d.com This should not be called in batch mode.
How is this "best answer?" The documentation states that there is, in fact, a command-line based activation method: Unity Command Line Documentation
However, neither activation or return works: 
So the "best answer" would be an explanation of why neither of these documented functions actually functions....
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CommandLineArguments.html indicates that it's possible.
Is it or not possible to activate Unity3D through command line ?
With Unity 5.5.3f1 I was able to get this to work:
"c:\program files\Unity5.5.3f1\Editor\Unity.exe" -quit -batchmode -nographics -serial <key> -username "<username>" -password "<password>"
Also, returning the license via command line worked:
"c:\program files\Unity5.5.3f1\Editor\Unity.exe" -quit -batchmode -nographics -username "<username>" -password "<password>" -returnlicense
I was unable to get either to work under 5.1.1f1. The company I work for has to manage over 50 licenses across about as many automated build machines so this is a critical feature - especially when the build machines randomly "lose" licensing and need to be reactivated for no apparent reason.
