Server requirements#

To set up the Unity Licensing Server, you need:

• A persistent computer

  The Unity Licensing Server must run on a persistent computer on your local network. If computer bindings change, the server license will become invalid.

• A supported Windows or Linux platform. Platform support varies by server version:

  Operating system	Version 2.0 or later	Versions earlier than 2.0
  Windows	Windows 11, 10, 8 (64-bit versions)	Windows 11, 10, 8 (64-bit versions)
  Windows Server	Windows Server 2012, 2016	Windows Server 2012, 2016
  Ubuntu	20.04 or later	18.04 or later

  The Unity Licensing Server requires additional software dependencies for Linux. For more information, refer to Additional software requirements for Linux below.

Client requirements#

To set up the Unity Licensing Client, the client computer must have:

• A supported operating system

  The Unity Licensing Client supports:

  • Windows: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8 (64-bit versions)
  • MacOS: macOS 10.12 or later
  • Linux: Ubuntu 18.04 or later

• Unity Editor version 2019.4 or later

  These versions of the Editor include the Unity Licensing Client. The client is also included in the Unity Hub version 3.1 or later.

• Unity Hub (recommended)

  If you use the Unity Editor, the Unity Hub is recommended because it has strong license management features. For installation instructions, refer to the Unity Hub documentation. The Unity Hub isn't required if you use Unity in a headless state, such as a build server.
