Symptoms:
- I want to confirm if a Unity Industry license is appropriate before contracting.
- I want to know if I need to buy an Industry license.
Resolution:
For industry customers with Total Finances exceeding 1 million USD, a Unity Industry license is mandatory.
Total Finances are measured as follows:
- If you are a legal entity using the Unity Software, then your Total Finances are: (a) if you are providing services to a third party, your customers’ or clients’ gross revenues and/or funding (no matter what the source); or (b) if you are not providing services to a third party, your aggregate gross revenues and funding.
- If you are a governmental entity, non-profit, educational, or academic institution using the Unity Software, then your Total Finances are your budget for the entire entity or institution.
- If you are an individual using the Unity Software, then your Total Finances are: (a) if you are providing service(s) to a third party, your customer’s or client’s gross revenues and/or funding (no matter what the source); or (b) if you are not providing service(s) to a third party, the amount generated in connection with your use of the Software.
Conversely, companies with Total Finances below 1 million USD are eligible to use the Unity Pro license.
Using Unity Pro for industry customers with Total Finances over 1 million USD violates Unity's terms of service. If this happens, the Unity Compliance department may issue a notification, requiring an immediate transition to the appropriate license.
