Educational License at home?
Hello
There's a possibility that my university might purchase some educational license for unity3d.
The problem is that they apparently need to be installed on 'lab computers'. And I have about an hour commute to the university.
I'm hoping to use Unity3D for my bachelor thesis, so I will need to use it almost every day for a long period, and having to drive there every day would be troublesome.
So I'm wondering if I can get an educational license through my university, use it at my home system for the duration of the project, and then migrate the license back to one of the lab computers at the end?
It's a similar situation as what's found here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/30916-Educational-license-question
Which received a positive response, but for a teacher/lecturer, and I'm a student. I would not use it any differently than I would if it was at the university on a lab computer, it would just be insanely more convenient for me.
It would be great if I could get some sort of official response that I could present to my university.
Thank you
Educational licenses have no relationship to lab computers but if you get a student license its a single seat only, it will always show the watermark (its a time unlimited pro trial basically) and it will work for 12 months only.
check studica to buy it in case you are from the USA
Thanks, I appreciate your answer but: "(its a time unlimited pro trial basically) and it will work for 12 months only." <-- contradiction here.
So the educational license is only valid for 12 months? (so a 12 month trial not unlimited?) The university will not be able to use it after that period? It is less likely that they will agree to get me one if it's only valid for such a short period.
sorry naturally unlimited in the sense that it does not time out after 30 days. And I've been talking about the student license that enrolled students can get. i cant comment on special lab / site licenses and their restriction only on the student one. and yes these ones would show the same reactivation screen that the unity pro trial shows after 30days when theltrial icense times out
Okay thanks. I also received an answer in an email to support. For anyone who wonders about this in the future: The only restriction is that it can only be installed at one computer at the time. There is no rules to where the computer is or who owns it.
