Symptoms:
- I am using a Build Server license.
- I am using the minimum supported version of the Unity Editor that supports Build Server licenses (2019.4.3).
- I am unable to open the Unity Editor with my Build Server license.
- I can successfully run Unity using -batchmode.
- The Editor log suggests that I do not have the Editor UI entitlement.
Cause:
Not being able to open the Unity Editor with a Build Server license is intended behavior. It occurs because Unity Build Server licenses do not have the Editor UI entitlement to allow the Editor to be opened.
With a Unity Build Server license, Unity needs to be run in batch mode through a command line interface and can only be used to generate builds, not to author project content.
Resolution:
You need to open the Editor on a machine with a license with the Editor UI entitlement. For example, use Unity Pro and Enterprise subscriptions or the -batchmode command line argument when building your project.
