Question by TheBusyBiscuit · Aug 13, 2016 at 03:30 PM · asset storelicenseeditor extensiontransfercomputer

Can I transfer my Unity Free License including all purchased Editor extensions to a new Computer?

Hey guys,

I am using Unity Free Edition for creating my own games, however I am not using this as an Organization, just all by myself. But my computer is already 5 years old by now and I would like to buy a new one rather soonish.

Now my question is: Editor Extensions from the Unity Asset Store require "per-seat" licenses. Can I somehow transfer my purchases to my new computer? And is there a way I can use the same Unity Free License on my new machine?

I never purchased any Editor Extensions before, but I was going to. So I have no idea whether they are bound to my account or my license.

To free up a license when switching to a different computer, do the following

  1. Open Unity 4 or Unity 5. Click

  2. "Help" (“File” on $$anonymous$$ac).

  3. Click "$$anonymous$$anage License..."

  4. Click "Return License".

As for the asset store. I think the purchases are linked to your account and not the license. I have logged to my Unity Asset Store account from a different computer, with a different OS and a different license and I was still able to download my paid assets from the store.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like you can, we've been trying to merge assets purchased across 2 accounts here and only found the following articles:

and

Looks like you need to grab the .unitypackage files out of the download folder and import them manually.

Then keep doing that in the future as packages are updated.

Painful.
