You decided to add a CI/CD pipeline to your Unity Project using GameCI. You are all pumped up and ready to start.
What's the 1st step? Activating Unity! No biggie, right?
Well, hold on a sec. You generate the alf file after creating the github action. You carry on with the list and head to https://license.unity3d.com/manual, all set to create that ulf file.
Plot Twist
But hold your horses because here comes the twist.
Unity dropped a bombshell: "Unity no longer supports manual activation of Personal licenses."
Manual activation of Personal licenses? Nope, not happening anymore. Cue the dramatic music. 🎵
But we are not giving up that easily. We disregard the message and upload the alf file.
Something's fishy. The option to generate an ulf for a personal license? Poof, it's vanished. Instead, it asks us to type in a serial number.
Time for a bit of trickery
Right-click and inspect the serial number box
Now, hunt down the <div class="option option-personal clear" style="display: none;"> section
Guess what? We're deleting that pesky "display: none;".
Boom! Like magic, the Unity Personal Edition option reappears. 🎉
Hopefully, before this hack stops working, GameCI will have an official workaround :)
Shoutout
And here's a shoutout to realpepe, who cracked the code and shared the wisdom on Discord. Because in the world of tech, teamwork makes the magic happen.
