If you are using a Unity grant license, you will not be able to access the PlayStation® developer forums. Educational grant licenses are not seat-based and do not qualify as valid Unity subscription licenses for this purpose. To gain access, you must apply for either the Unity Educator or Unity Student plan and ensure a subscription seat is assigned to your account. You must also be a registered PlayStation® Partner and have DevNet access.
Cause:
Grant licenses are not seat-based and do not count as a valid Unity subscription license for accessing the PlayStation® developer forums.
Resolution
-
Register as a PlayStation® Partner

- For guidance, see:
-
Assign your Unity subscription seat
After your application is approved, ensure your subscription seat is assigned to your Unity account. Follow the steps in 'How do I assign a Unity subscription license seat to a user?' for more information.
- Allow at least 24 hours for systems to register your new subscription and license.
-
Confirm Developer Status in DevNet
After 24 hours, go to the Tools & Middleware directory within DevNet and confirm your developer status with Unity.
-
Complete Access via Unity Email
Unity sends an email inviting you to log in to your Unity account (the one associated with your valid subscription). Use the link in the email to sign in and finalize access.
Notes:
- Grant licenses are not eligible for access to the PlayStation® forum.
- If you do not see the email after confirming in DevNet, check your spam folder and ensure you are using the same email associated with your Unity subscription seat.
- If issues persist, contact Unity support with your DevNet organization details and Unity account email.
