Unity (AKA: Unity3D/Unity2D, U3D for short) is currently the most popular multi-platform free game engine developed by Unity Technologies from Denmark (mainly written in C, C++ and C#, and first released in 2005). Users with C# and JavaScript programming experience can get started more quickly.

As a cross-platform and highly integrated game developing tool (i.e.: a comprehensive integration of professional game engine) that is similar to Adobe Director, Blender, Virtools or Torque Game Builder and so on interactive game development environments, Unity is designed to be a easy to use product right from the start. With it, users can easily create many types of interactive contents such as 3D video game, architectural visualization, real-time 3D animation, and more. In addition to the advantages of simple and user-friendly UI design, Unity’s features also include integrated visual editor, cross-platform release (allows you to quickly publish your game works to Windows, Mac OS X, Wii, XBOX, PlayStation, Android, iPhone, iOS, Windows Phone, WebGL, and many other platforms), terrain editor, shader, script editor, version control, and so on.

At last, if let me choose a more promising 3D & 2D game engine for mobile game, web game, console game and PC game development, I’d like to turn to Unity, rather than the similarly famous game engine GameMaker Studio which is more good at 2D game developing. Need to remind everyone, of course, Unity is not restricted to the development of 2D/3D games. In fact, it also can be used to produce fine 3D animation and so on many other types of interactive contents!

// Installation Notes //

for Unity 2022.2.x+ on Win/Mac/Lin (with UniHacker + Uni HubHacker):

  1. Download and install the latest version of Unity Hub from official site
  2. Exit Unity Hub from system tray
  3. Run UniHacker, select “Unity Hub.exe“, and click ‘PATCH‘ (the license shows as “Educational“, doesn’t matter)
  4. Download and install the latest version of Unity from official site
  5. Download and copy the corresponding version of unlocked file “System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.dll” (right click -> properties -> Details -> Product version, make sure they are same) to the following paths and overwrite:
    • X:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\Resources\Licensing\Client\
    • X:\Program Files\Unity Hub\UnityLicensingClient_V1\
  6. Copy the license file (along with folder) to “C:\
  7. Done

*** If you got a “License error: No valid Unity Editor license found. Please activate your license.”, reinstalling the Unity Hub is a very simple, easy and working solution.

*** If Unity can not launch correctly, just end all Unity related tasks via Task Manager, and start it again.

for Unity 2022.1.x- on Win/Mac/Lin (with UniHacker):

  • Run patch, select “Unity.exe“, then click patch and wait. After patching, you can direct run Unity.exe to open your project (no need to run Unity Hub first anymore)
  • If you still need to use Unity Hub, just select and patch “Unity Hub.exe” too.

*** This crack can patch all versions of Unity and Unity Hub on Windows, Mac and Linux.

for Unity 2019.x, 2020.x on Windows:

  5. Delete the entire “Licensing” folder under Unity’s installation folder (like “D:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\Resources\“). Otherwise, Unity does not start up, and Unity Hub may show you this error “Unity is already in list. You cannot locate the same version.
  6. Copy the license file ‘Unity_lic.ulf‘ to “C:\ProgramData\Unity\” and overwrite (you may need to create the ‘Unity‘ folder manually)
  7. Done

*** The UI of completely unlocked Unity is black, not grey.

// Prompts //

  • Unity has no nothing to do with the UI based on GNOME desktop environment that mainly used on Ubuntu Linux with the same name.
  • We suggest you choose the ‘Work offline‘ mode when first open Unity.
  • If you reinstalled the system, the installed Unity can continue to be used (except that the Unity_lic.ulf file needs to be copied to C:\ProgramData\Unity again). However, although Unity Hub can be started, it has been unable to log in to your account until you reinstall it!

// Warning //

The unlock patches might be reported as Win32:Malware-gen threat with high risk. Use VirusTotal to make a full, authoritative scan, and decide to use it or not by yourself.

*** Please remember: antivirus software is not always right, just be careful and use it at your own risk.
