Symptoms:
- I have received an email telling me that my Student plan is about to expire.
- I want to renew my Unity Student plan.
- I followed the steps in the email I received to renew my Student plan, but nothing happened. Why is this?
Cause:
Unity Student plans are valid for one year, after which you need to renew your Student plan to continue taking advantage of the benefits included.
Resolution:
| Important: You can only renew once your current license has expired. It is ideal to allow at least 24 hours from the existing subscription expiring before re-submitting your application. |
You can renew your Unity Student plan after one year if you are still a student and your academic email address is still active in the school system.
When the plan expires, return to the Unity Student page and reverify your student status with SheerID to renew your license.
When submitting your renewal, we encourage you to confirm the submission is from the same account you used when you initially applied. Student verification can only be associated with one Unity ID.
More Information:
Before 31 Aug 2021, verification of student status was processed through GitHub. If you want to renew a plan you verified via GitHub, please reapply via the Unity Student page, following the instructions to reverify with SheerID.
