How to bypass Unity Hub sign-In for Educational institutions

Symptoms:

• I can’t bypass the Hub login window.
• I need to use Unity in a lab environment without signing in.

Cause:

With the release of Unity Hub version 3.6.0, Unity introduced a mandatory sign-in process to access the Hub. This measure was implemented to enhance security and manage license activation. However, this change may impact educational institutions that prefer streamlined access without individual sign-ins for each student or staff member.

Resolution:

To bypass the Unity Hub sign-in requirement, an admin within your institution needs to update/create the services-config.json file by following these steps:

1. Locate the file path for your operating system:
   
   • MacOS: /Library/Application Support/Unity/config
   • Windows: C:\ProgramData\Unity\config
   • Linux: /usr/share/unity3d/config
2. Create and update the services-config.json file:
   
   • If the directory or file does not exist, create them.
   • Add the following content to the services-config.json file:
     jsonCopy code ``` { "hubDisableSignInRequired": true } ```
3. Applying changes:
   
   • Save the configuration file.
   • Close and relaunch the Unity Hub for the updates to take effect. The Hub will detect the new settings in the services-config.json file.
