    Hello!

    I downloaded Unity today on my laptop. I am asked then to register. If i click on internet activation a message pops up saying:

    'The internet activation server returned an unkown error (12057).

    Press OK to manually activate your software.

    ID: ePAY : 16007 / WPSW : 767'

    Now to the tricky part, if i try to manually activate it, i am given the option to save license or to read license. After saving my license i click on read, find the saved license and open it. Then an error message pops up saying:

    'This file does not contain valid license data and cannot be used.'

    Anyone know what i'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated :)

    So, the manual activation process should deliver a file with an ULF extension to your machine. I know some browsers seem to add a different file extension, which prevents Unity from finding the file. If this is the problem you have, simple remove the "wrong" extension from the file in Finder. If you have a different problem, maybe take a screenshot, or describe in a little more detail what's happening.

    I have to ask for a new manual activation, each time I want to use Unity… It is very boring!

    After each licence, I can only load one project.

    I cannot load 2 projects… If I quit the existing project, I see in Unity Hub that I have no more valid licence.

    If I reload the license: I have 2 messages :
    - Your license is successfully activated.
    - Machine identification is invalide for current license

    I always use the same machine…

    Somtimes unity cant overwrite the license file and that causes unity / the hub to ask you ervery time to activate.
    Just deleteing the license file C:\ProgramData\Unity\Unity_lic.ulf and then reactivating.

    Unfortunately, that did not work.
