unity-activate

A tool to automate the manual activation of unity license using puppeteer.

Inspired by https://github.com/MizoTake/unity-license-activate (@MizoTake).

Usage as a node module:

npm install unity-activate

const { ActivatorOptions, Activator } = require('unity-activate');

(async () => {
    new Activator({
        file :'input.alf',
        username :'username',
        password :'password',
        serial :'serial_code',
        out :'output_dir',
      }).run();
})();

Usage as a command-line utility:

# Installation:
npm install -g unity-activate

Usage:
  $ unity-activate [opts] <*.alf>

Activate Unity activation license file (Unity_v***.alf or Unity_lic.alf)
NOTE: If two-factor authentication is enabled, the verify code will be requested.

Options:
  -o, --out <dir>              Output ulf file to the specified directory (default: .)
  -u, --username <username>    Username (email) to login Unity (default: $UNITY_USERNAME)
  -p, --password <password>    Password to login Unity (default: $UNITY_PASSWORD)
  -s, --serial <serial>        Serial key to activate (default: $UNITY_SERIAL). If empty, activate as personal license.
NOTE: Unity Personal Edition is not available to companies or organizations that earned more than USD100,000 in the previous fiscal year.
 
  -d, --debug                  Run "headful" puppeteer (default: false)
  -h, --help                   Display this message 
  -v, --version                Display version number

Step 1: Get a license request file

Create a license activation file and import license file by command.

# On Windows:
$ "C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe" -batchmode -createManualActivationFile

# On macOS:
$ /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity -batchmode -createManualActivationFile

Or, with UnityHub (Settings > License Management > MANUAL ACTIVATION > SAVE LICENSE REQUEST).

Step 2: Request a license (*.ulf)

Run unity-activate to download the *.ulf file.

# For personal license (with interaction):
$ unity-activate ***.alf
$   > enter the username and password
$ username: [email protected]
$ password: *****
...

# For personal license:
$ unity-activate --username [email protected] --password your_password ***.alf

# For professional license (with --serial option):
$ unity-activate --username [email protected] --password your_password --serial your_serial_code ***.alf

# Use environment variables instead of options:
$ export [email protected]
$ export UNITY_PASSWORD=your_password
$ export UNITY_SERIAL=your_serial_code # If empty, activate as personal license.
$ unity-activate ***.alf

Step 3: Activate your license

Now that you have your license file, you can activate your Unity account by command.

# On Windows:
$ "C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe" -batchmode -manualLicenseFile ***.ulf

# On macOS:
$ /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity -batchmode -manualLicenseFile ***.ulf

Or, with UnityHub.
