Installing the Advertisement Legacy package in Unity

To ensure that you are using the latest version of Unity Ads, we recommend that you install the Advertisement Legacy package from the Unity Editor Package Manager.

Note: Starting from SDK version 4.4.1, the Unity Ads package is now called the Advertisement Legacy package in the Unity Editor. The Advertisement Legacy package version 4.12 is still functional but will not receive any further updates for new or enhanced features. SDK version 4.12 supports the Apple Privacy Manifest update, with no further updates planned for the package.

  1. Open the Unity Editor, and go to Window > Package Manager.
  2. In the Package Manager window, ensure Unity Registry is selected as the Packages type.
  3. Navigate through the package list, find the Advertisement Legacy package, and then select the latest verified version.
  4. Click Install or Update.

If you can’t find the the Advertisement Legacy package in the list, try searching for it:

  1. In the Package Manager, use the search bar and enter "Advertisement Legacy” or “Ads”.
  2. The package will appear in either of these locations:
    • All tab - listed as a package.
    • Services tab - listed under Monetization.

If the package still doesn’t appear, add the Advertisement Legacy package by its name:

  1. In the Package Manager dropdown, click the plus (+) button.
  2. Select “Add Package by Name”, then enter com.unity.ads to search for it.
  3. Once found, select the latest verified version and click Install or Update.

Note: Disabling domain reloading in Play Mode Options is not supported for the Unity Ads package.

If you created your project through the Unity Editor flow, you must also link it to a Unity Ads Monetization dashboard Project ID before it can access Unity Gaming Services. Refer to Configuring projects for Unity Gaming Services.

Next steps: To continue your integration, refer to the Initializing the SDK in Unity documentation.
