How can I tell which machines my license is activated on?

  • Updated

 Symptoms:

  • I would like to know which machines I've activated my license on.
  • I am receiving the error message 'Serial exceeds the maximum number of activations' but I don't know where the license is activated. 
  • I want to find out what machines my Educational license is activated on.

Cause:

It can be difficult to keep track of where your licenses are activated, especially if you have a large team or use more than one device.

Resolution:

Unity license subscription holders are able to check their own activations via the My Seats section of their Unity ID account.

Educational Grant license holders, perpetual license holders, and assigned 'X4' license holders, please click here to jump to your resolution.

 

Standard Unity subscription licenses

To view which machines your license is activated on, please follow the below steps:

Please note: Only the user who is assigned the license key can view the activations.
  1. Navigate to id.unity.com and sign in using your Unity credentials.
  2. Click My Seats on the left side menu.
  3. On the lower half of the page, navigate to the Activation section. Your current activations are shown with the following information: 
    • Date of activation
    • IP Country
    • Computer name (as named in your OS)
    • Organization (if applicable)
    • Type
    • Subscription (if applicable)
  •  

Educational Grant, Perpetual, & assigned 'X4' licenses

  1. Sign in at id.unity.com.
  2. Click Manage your other licenses on the left side of the page.
  3. Click Activations.

Your current activations are shown with the following information:

  • Date of activation
  • IP Country
  • Computer name (as named in your OS)
  • Organization (if applicable)
  • Type
  • Subscription (if applicable)

Users who have an old, non-seat-based license may be unable to view their activations via the above process. If you would like to see or manage these activations, please contact Customer Experience.

    It has been over a year; is this possible by now? (to view the PC's where you've activated your Unity license)

    Hi Ruud,

    I do apologise as I would need to update this article as there is a way to see any activations on your existing license and to establish which machines this is,

    You can do this by going to https://id.unity3d.com/en/subscriptions and scrolling to the section that says 'Activation'. Here, it will give you the following information for each asset alongside the option to remove it if you intend to replace this activation with another.

    • Date
    • ULF HWID (Your machine hardware ID)
    • IP Address
    • IP Country
    • Operating System
    • Computer Model (aka Motherboard model)
    • Computer name (as named in your OS)
    • Your OS user name
    • Version of Unity it is activated on

    Thanks for the reply, Manu! You seem to have made a small error in the url; id.unity3d.com does not seem to exist, but id.unity.com does.

    So it's  https://id.unity.com/en/subscriptions .

    Then I indeed see my activations; turns out my 2nd activation was used for a different version of Unity, that explains the issue in my case.

    But updating the article seems useful; I can imagine lots more people searching for their activation details online.

    Ah, correct. My apologies!

    I couldn't agree more. I'll be setting some time aside in the next week or two to undergo some updates to this article, amongst others. I greatly appreciate your comment today as it's not been apparent until just now :)
