WHEN will i need to buy a license?
I have found that if a game makes less than 100k in its fiscal year, the developer won't need to buy a license. But what if my company doesn't expect it to make that much, so we don't purchase a license, but then the game breaks that number and earns more than 100k in its fiscal year. Can I purchase a license after it does reaches 100k within it's fiscal year without facing legal problems?
The upgrade becomes required at the end of the fiscal year, because that's the way revenue is calculated according to the license conditions. As long as you don't subscribe to licenses for all your Unity users, you are obligated to stop using Unity. You are still allowed to sell your games, but you are no longer allowed to update them, even when you don't need the Unity editor to make updates:
During the term of this Agreement, you expressly acknowledge and agree that if you are a Unity Personal or Unity Plus user and the above thresholds are exceeded, then you may no longer use that tier of the Unity Software, and you must either: (a) purchase Unity Plus (if eligible) or Unity Pro; or (b) destroy all copies of the Unity Software in your possession or control, and cease updating Your Project Content. Unity will monitor your compliance with and enforce these restrictions and requirements including but not limited to monitoring the number of downloads of Your Project Content and any available revenue estimate data.
