Add new computer to licence of migrate - where I find informations needed?
Hi.
(I tried to make a question along these lines just before - but have no idea what happen to it when I logged in to post it.)
I am not your original computer wizard so please instruct me as though a child. I do not feel to get enough information from the similar questions answered. It is not enough to tell me I need to know my computer name or to remember the UNITY licence-number. I need to know where from to gather those information needed!!! Where to send it, what is the EXACT procedure? AND I need to know what to do in my specific case.
First - I think I may have named my old laptop the same as the new one. I don't like to have to remember a lot of names for things - so shoot me. I am told I need to be able to know this information to be able to use UNITY on my new computer. I want to know what to do if the old and new have same name?
I need to know what I should actually really do - add to licence (I am private customer) or migrate from old to this? Is it possible still to add to licence even though the both computers are laptops? (I do not own table computer.)
The old computer still works - but I find it bothersome even to turn it on - lol. It heats up easy, is bit slow and generally annoys with the fact that it can not connect to web via an wire to modem - only wireless. Well to mention a few <<<. I really need to get some information from inside it to do this?
Where do I find my unity licence-number?
Really - where is located the rest of information I need to give - to do what ever is the best solution for me?
(If you speak computer and find my questions stupid - it is NOT my problem - and as result it IS your problem as to how you will treat me answering this. It has been several months when I started about UNITY. Moving from a country to another has taken priority and I do not remember much anything about what I tried to learn about unity before. But now I have new computer and want to get back with unity.)
Additionally - do I need to inform unity somehow about my new location in the world?
Thank You
What I said with my choice of words is that it is the problem of people who answer, how they answer - politely or not politely by telling me to Google things. I find it really sad that when someone asks really newbie questions they are told to Google things - even when they already told that the answers they got did not help them. $$anonymous$$y mother tongue is not English, it most certainly is not technical English, even less 'computer'. Laugh away, but it was only few year ago I started to get what the smileys mean't if there was no yellow face to show it, but just some keystrokes used (to give another example).
I started with UNITY several months ago, but had to stop about it due to more important life matters. I know bit about textures - but really nothing about UNITY. I do not remember even an e-mail - so when I read that I might need serial number - I do not know where to find it. Is that so weird? I am not even sure about the rest of things on the 'Googled answer lists' of things found - where to get the information needed from. I am not supposed to ask that? And then what am I in my specific case to do.. those answers still are not answers specially to me. Ins$$anonymous$$d they made me wonder what to do if my computers have same name. And not just that - I dont know which to choose to add or to migrate.
Yes I see people can be politely answered to. But when you Google for answers the $$anonymous$$OST of answers found on most of questions Googled tell you to Google it. Well I know that is generalization and my way to write is colorful. But why to take it personally, unless you are one to tell people to Google things ins$$anonymous$$d to give help when they especially make a strong point of it - that when they looked for answers the answers gave them just more questions. I told with my choice of words that I wanted newbie help.
Yes you too told me to Google it - so I think I am not so wrong in expecting people to do that rather than give actual answers.
As it happens my country specific Google barely knows UNITY exists. So I have to google in English to get some answers - but then the answers will be in English and so forth. You did not think of such a case did you?

Your serial number will be on the email you received when you purchase your Pro license. (If you have not got a Pro license, then just activate free on your new machine.)
Also, I believe if you log in to:
https://store.unity3d.com/account/licenses
you'll see where you have Unity activated, and can return these.
TY - I do still feel kinda lost. Being newbie is being lost.
