Can't launch Unity 3.5.7
We are long time users of 3.5.7, on which we built a commercial project that we have to maintain.
We could launch the editor until 2 weeks ago.
Now we get an error message "The internet activation server returned a server error (HTTP status 503).
Press OK to manyually activate your software. ID : ePAY : 16005 / WPSW : 767 "
Manual activation doesn't work.
I have been in touch with support who gave us ports to open but still nothing.
Tried to launch as admin, with compatibility mode...
We are stuck.
Any ideas ?
I don't know what's causing the problem but as a last resort have you tried running it on wine in linux? I got Unity 3.5.5 running following this video (believe it or not). The video is installing fonts, d3dx9 and forcemono packages though winetricks and adding "ProductID" string value to HL$$anonymous$$\Software\$$anonymous$$icrosoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion, then install Unity. Like I said though, it's a last resort.

Could you try the automatic activation again? We restarted the 3.x license server.

I also have exactly the same issue and no solution. Unity 3 is not supported anymore but we need to maintain an existing large commercial project.
