UNITY PRO, UNITY PLUS AND UNITY PERSONAL SOFTWARE
ADDITIONAL TERMS
**Last Updated June 28, 2016**
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT USE RESTRICTIONS
Please read all of the Software Terms set forth below
Scope
As part of the Services offered by Unity pursuant to the Agreement, Unity also
provides a downloadable software component (the “**Unity Software**”), which is
provided on a non-royalty-bearing basis.  These Additional Terms govern your use
of the Unity Software (the “**Software Terms**”). Depending on your requirements
and circumstances, you will be permitted to use either Unity Pro, Unity Plus or
Unity Personal.
Primary Differences Between Unity Pro, Unity Plus and Unity Personal
All three tiers of the Unity Software share most of the same features and
functionality.  To see the differences between each tier, please visit [Unity’s
online
store](https://web.archive.org/web/20160709184431/https:/store.unity.com/).
Which Version You Can Use - Revenue Restrictions
Unity Personal may not be used by:
1. a Commercial Entity that has either: (a) reached annual gross revenues in
excess of US\$100,000, or (b) raised funds (including but not limited to
crowdfunding) in excess of US\$100,000, in each case during the most
recently completed fiscal year;
2. a Non-Commercial Entity (this means academic and governmental entities as
defined below) with a total annual budget in excess of US\$100,000 (for the
entire Non-Commercial Entity (not just a department)) for the most recently
completed fiscal year; or
3. an individual (not acting on behalf of a Legal Entity) or a Sole Proprietor
that has reached annual gross revenues in excess of US\$100,000 from its use
of the Unity Software during the most recently completed fiscal year, which
does not include any income earned by that individual which is unrelated to
its use of the Unity Software.
Unity Plus is subject to payment of the applicable subscription fees, but may
not be used by:
1. a Commercial Entity that has either: (a) reached annual gross revenues in
excess of US\$200,000, or (b) raised funds (including but not limited to
crowdfunding) in excess of US\$200,000, in each case during the most
recently completed fiscal year;
2. a Non-Commercial Entity (this means academic and governmental entities as
defined below) with a total annual budget in excess of US\$200,000 (for the
entire Non-Commercial Entity (not just a department)) for the most recently
completed fiscal year; or
3. an individual (not acting on behalf of a Legal Entity) or a Sole Proprietor
that has reached annual gross revenues in excess of US\$200,000 from its use
of the Unity Software during the most recently completed fiscal year, which
does not include any income earned by that individual which is unrelated to
its use of the Unity Software.
Unity Pro may be used by anyone who pays the applicable subscription fees.
Unity may monitor your compliance with and enforce these restrictions and
requirements including but not limited to monitoring the number of downloads of
Your Project Content and any available revenue estimate data.
Auto-Renewal
At the end of the subscription term for Unity Plus or Unity Pro, your
subscription will automatically renew on a month to month basis at the
then-current list price, unless you renew the subscription for a new
subscription term or terminate and cancel it.  You may add new subscription
seats while on this month-to-month plan without starting a new subscription
term.  However, if you terminate your month-to-month plan, you will have to
commit to a new subscription term if you choose to start using Unity Plus or
Unity Pro again.
You May Not Use Unity Personal, Unity Plus and/or Unity Pro Simultaneously
You may not combine or integrate Your Project Content developed with one tier of
Unity Software (e.g., Unity Personal) simultaneously with any of Your Project
Content that you develop with another tier (e.g., Unity Plus or Unity Pro). Your
Project Content developed with Unity Personal and/or Unity Plus will be tagged
with an identifier that is used to enforce this restriction.
One User Per Seat
A seat is required for each individual using any version of the Unity Software.
 You may install the Unity Software on both a primary and a secondary computer
or operating system for use only by the same user. You may not use both
installations simultaneously. If you are an educational institution and purchase
a standard, single educational seat to use the Unity Software , you must
purchase a seat for each computer on which the Unity Software is to be used.
Unity Console Add-on Developer Requirements
Use of the Unity Software with certain console platforms is subject to the Unity
Console Add-on Developer Requirements as set forth on the Unity website. The
enablement keys for certain Unity Console Add-ons may be distributed by the
console manufacturer.
Streaming and Cloud Gaming Restrictions
You may not directly or indirectly distribute Your Project Content by means of
streaming or broadcasting where Your Project Content is primarily executed on a
server and transmitted as a video stream or via low level graphics render
commands over the open Internet to end user devices without a separate license
from Unity. This restriction does not prevent end users from remotely accessing
Your Project Content from an end user device that is running on another end user
device.
Embedded Unity Software Restriction
You may not directly or indirectly distribute Your Project Content installed on
more than 1,000 electronic devices or systems if Your Project Content provides
the user interface or primary functionality of such electronic device or system
without a separate license from Unity. This restriction does not prevent you
from distributing Your Project Content pre-installed on personal computers and
consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, televisions or set
top boxes as long as Your Project Content does not provide the user interface or
primary functionality of such device.
Gambling Restrictions
You may not distribute or publish any of Your Project Content in connection with
any Gambling Activities without a separate license from Unity.
UNITY SOFTWARE TERMS
Your use of the Unity Software is subject to these Additional Terms (the
“**Software Terms**”), which supplement and incorporate the [Unity Terms of

all copies of the Unity Software in your possession or control, and cease
updating Your Project Content. Unity will monitor your compliance with and
enforce these restrictions and requirements including but not limited to

Unity Personal users may be required to complete a user survey in order to
activate the Unity Software.
1. RIGHTS TO USE THE UNITY SOFTWARE.
1. *Use Rights*. Conditioned upon your compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and payment of all applicable subscription fees, Unity
grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license during
the applicable term: (a) to install and execute the executable form of the
Unity Software, solely for internal use by a single person to develop Your
Project Content during the applicable term; and (b) if you are using a
version of the Unity Software other than an educational version, to
distribute the runtime portion of the Unity Software, on a royalty-free
basis, solely as embedded or incorporated into Your Project Content and
solely to third parties to whom you license or sell Your Project Content
pursuant to an agreement that is no less protective of Unity and its
licensors as this Agreement. You may not sublicense the rights granted under
clause 1.1(a), but you may sublicense the rights granted under 1.1(b) solely
to third parties to whom you license or sell Your Project Content to act as
distributors thereof pursuant to an agreement no less protective of Unity
and its licensors as this Agreement.
2. *Copies of Unity Products*. You may install the Unity Software on both a
primary and a secondary computer or operating system, solely for your
convenience, but only for use by a single person. You may make a single copy
of the Unity Software solely for backup or archival purposes. For the sake
of clarity, you may only use one installation at any given time. We may in
our sole discretion authorize you to install the Unity Software on
additional computers or operating systems upon deactivation of the Unity
Software installed on existing computers.
3. *Unity Console Add-on Developer Requirements*. Use of the Unity Software
with certain console platforms is subject to the Unity Console Add-on
Developer Requirements as set forth on the Unity website. The license keys
to enable certain Unity Console Add-ons may be distributed by the console
manufacturer.
4. *Third Party Software*. The Unity Software incorporates or is bundled with
Third Party Software governed by separate terms, including open source
licenses. Such Third Party Software terms are identified in the LICENSE.TXT
file bundled with the Unity Software and incorporated into this Agreement by
reference. You agree that you have reviewed and accepted those terms and
that your use of the Unity Software will be deemed acceptance thereof.
2. RESTRICTIONS.
1. *Unity Software Tier Restrictions*. You acknowledge and agree that as an
express condition to the rights granted under Section 1, you are not
permitted to combine or integrate in any manner any of Your Project Content
developed with one tier of the Unity Software (e.g., Unity Personal) with
any of Your Project Content developed simultaneously with another tier
(e.g., Unity Plus or Unity Pro). For the avoidance of doubt: (a) if you are
a permitted user of Unity Personal, you may commence a project using only
Unity Personal and subsequently upgrade all (but not less than all) of your
seats to Unity Plus or Unity Pro, and (b) any user of the Unity Software may
use content licensed from third parties regardless of the tier of Unity
Software that was used to develop such third party content. You acknowledge
and agree that Unity may tag Your Project Content created with Unity
Personal and/or Unity Plus with an identifier to prevent such a prohibited
combination of Your Project Content.
2. *Educational Product Restrictions*. If you are using an educational version
of the Unity Software, your right to use the Unity Software and distribute
the runtime portion of the Unity Software in Your Project Content is limited
to educational, non-commercial purposes.  Unity may include a watermark
designating that Your Project Content was created using the education
version of the Unity Software.  
3. *Embedded Software Restriction*. You may not directly or indirectly
distribute Your Project Content installed on more than 1,000 electronic
devices or systems if Your Project Content provides the user interface or
primary functionality of such electronic device or system without a separate
license from Unity. This restriction does not prevent you from distributing
Your Project Content pre-installed on personal computers and consumer
electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, televisions or set top
boxes as long as Your Project Content does not provide the user interface or
primary functionality of such device.
4. *Streaming and Cloud Gaming Restrictions*. You may not directly or
indirectly distribute Your interactive Project Content by means of streaming
or broadcasting Your Project Content that is primarily executed on a server
and transmitted over the Internet or other network to end user devices
without a separate license from Unity. This restriction does not prevent end
users from remotely accessing Your Project Content from an end user device
that is running on another end user device.
5. *Gambling Restriction*. You may not distribute or publish any of Your
Project Content in connection with any Gambling Activities without a
separate license agreement from Unity.
6. *General Restrictions*. Except as expressly specified in this Agreement, you
may not: (a) copy (except in the course of loading or installing) or modify
or create derivative works of the Unity Software; (b) distribute, transfer,
sublicense, lease, lend, rent or otherwise provide access to the Unity
Software to any third party; (c) directly or indirectly make the
functionality of the Unity Software available to multiple users or third
parties through any means, including but not limited to by uploading the
Unity Software to a network or file-sharing service or through any hosting,
application services provider, service bureau, software-as-a-service (SaaS)
or any other technology or service; (d) use the Unity Software for
competitive analysis or to develop a competing product or service; or (e) do
anything that could cause or result in the Unity Software (including the
runtime portion thereof) being subject to any open source license (or
similar license) that requires as a condition of use, modification or
distribution that the Unity Software (including the runtime portion thereof)
or other software combined or distributed with the Unity Software be: (i)
disclosed or distributed in source code form; (ii) licensed for the purpose
of making derivative works; or (iii) redistributable at no charge. You
acknowledge and agree that portions of the Unity Software, including but not
limited to the source code and the specific design and structure of
individual modules or programs, are confidential and constitute or contain
trade secrets of Unity and its licensors. Accordingly, you agree not to
disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Unity Software, in whole or
in part, or permit or authorize a third party to do so, except to the extent
such activities are expressly permitted by this Agreement or by law
notwithstanding this prohibition. Notwithstanding the restriction
prohibiting decompiling in the immediately preceding sentence, you may
decompile the Unity Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) assemblies solely
to inspect their functionality for purposes of understanding or improving
performance of Your Project Content or any editor extension to the Unity
Software.
