LTS extension

What is an LTS version of Unity?

The Long Term Support (LTS) version of Unity provides a stable foundation for projects that are in production or about to ship. It has the same feature set as the related Tech Stream releases, but LTS focuses on updates aimed at improving product stability for production-ready development projects.

When and how will I get access to the extended LTS support?

Subscribers who are on Unity Enterprise from 2021 LTS will automatically gain another year of support – you don’t need to do anything to activate the extra year. The Unity Hub will check your license tier automatically, and updates will be available through the third year of that LTS version.

What if a fix lands in a later version of an LTS that my license does not provide access to?

If a fix lands in the third year of an LTS version you’re using but your license doesn’t support access to that third year of upgrades, you can upgrade your project to a newer LTS version that contains the fix.

What version of extended LTS support is included in the Unity Enterprise plan?

Extended LTS will be available through a third year from 2021 LTS onwards.

Where can I learn more about technical details of extended LTS support?

Learn about the technical details of our LTS releases on this dedicated Unity LTS webpage. If you have more specific questions, please reach out to your dedicated advisor or submit a ticket through our Support portal.

Source code (read-only)

What is Unity source code (read-only)?

Unity source code is the human-readable source code for the core Unity real-time 3D development platform. It includes the Unity game engine and Unity Editor source code, but not certain third-party software delivered with the Unity engine binaries or Unity dependencies. If you have more questions about source code, please contact your account manager or message Unity sales.

Are there any risks to using source code (read-only)?

Source code enables you to dive deeper into your code and understand what’s happening at the code level of your game. There are benefits and risks to using source code – proceed with caution as dedicated support is not included for Enterprise customers with fewer than 20 seats.

What’s the difference between (read-only) and (full-access) Unity source code?

Read-only mode enables you to understand what’s happening with Unity’s source code to have a fuller debugging experience. Full-access source code allows you to create your own builds of the Unity real-time development platform for use in production, and this access is available for purchase. Please contact your account manager or message Unity Sales for more information.

How can I get access to source code (read-only)?

On October 13, access to read-only source code will be granted to new and existing Enterprise plans on a per-request basis as part of your Unity subscription. Please have your administrator reach out to your Unity account manager or contact Unity Sales.

How is source code different than the existing public C# reference published online?

The current public source code reference is read-only; it only includes the C# layer of the Unity game engine and Editor for the purpose of understanding or improving your projects.

Customer Success

What is a Partner Relations Manager (PRM)?

Your Unity PRM is your internal advocate, strategic advisor, and bridge to Unity, who works with you to take issues from submission to resolution. They maintain clear lines of communication to keep you informed and productive.

What can my PRM help me with?

PRMs can help you with everything from typical customer service requests related to licensing to sourcing Subject Matter Experts to help resolve your questions. They also share the latest insider knowledge and best practices to accelerate projects, and provide training coordination and support management with frequent and proactive communication.

What if I need additional PRMs?

Unity offers an add-on PRM solution for purchase to better help support large organizations.

Starter Success

What is Starter Success?

Starter Success is our entry-level Success Plan. It’s a technical support package that enables you to solve issues with assistance from Unity engineers so you can get back to work on your projects. It offers access to our ticketing system, standard technical support, a 48-hour response time, a Partner Advisor, and private fireside chats with Unity experts.

What types of issues can Starter Success help me resolve?

Build Server

How does Build Server work?

Unity Build Server licensing is managed through a locally installed License Server on your studio network. The License Server can be managed directly through the Unity ID portal. Unity Build Server runs Unity in batchmode through a command line interface and can only be used to generate builds, not to author project content.

Is Build Server required to build Unity projects?

No, a Build Server license is not required to build Unity projects. Build Server is a more cost-effective way for creative studios to offload the computational requirements of building projects to network hardware, freeing up developer workstations to enable higher levels of productivity.

Is Build Server a CI/CD solution?

No, Build Server is a license solution (floating license or serial key) that enables Unity to run in batch mode, freeing up developer workstations to continue working while OnPrem hardware performs builds.

Which versions of the Editor are supported for Build Server Licenses?

Build Server requires v 2019.4.3 LTS or later.

On-Demand Training

What is On-Demand Training?

On-Demand Training is an online training platform that allows you to develop your skills at your own pace.

What kind of content is available in the On-Demand Training platform?

Our platform provides hundreds of hours of expert-led training content, separated into modules and delivered through bite-sized video clips to help you more easily digest and retain course content. The large variety of courses include practice projects, assessments, and certificates with a range of difficulty levels available for different roles and verticals. Courses also go beyond the scope of just the Unity Engine and cover topics related to other product families such as Unity Forma, Reflect, and Pixyz.

What is the difference between Unity Learn and On-Demand Training?

While both provide access to education on how to use Unity, the On-Demand Training platform includes curriculum built specifically for professionals, across skill levels and industries, whereas Unity Learn is targeted towards students and hobbyists. On-Demand Training content focuses on tips and tricks to increase productivity and collaboration in addition to learning crucial Unity skills. The On-Demand platform also includes practice projects, quizzes, course certificates, and other learning tools to help reinforce comprehension.

Unity Industrial Collection (UIC)
