    I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with Studica? I just got the Unity student non commercial bundle from their and sent over confirmation of my student status, now I just can't wait to get the license :D I hope it will be done in a few days.

    Takes around 4 days from my experience.

    Took me one business day to verify, a day to "ship," A day panicking because there was no key given to me, and then I got it on the forth business day.

    That happened to me too... It said it was all ready to go but didn't have the key yet. I waited a day and sent an email about that. They responded very quickly and gave the key on the website.

    I don't remember how long it took from student verification to getting the key, but it didn't take too long.

    I took 3 days. My verification was instant - I just entered my School and Student# in their website and it showed "Verified". But they still check things manually and it takes 1 day for that. Then after another day the shipping status changed to something weird and then another day before they send you the key and the download link.

    So 3 days or more. Sorry, I was also eager to get mine sooner :(

    It arrived earlier today, I had a slight freak out when they didn't send me a key but then I checked the downloads section and the key was their.

    Studica says Unity is licensed for one machine per module. Does it not have the two machines like a normal Unity license so you can work on Windows and OSX?

    I have the commercial license from Studica. I read the license and it's identical to the one you buy from Unity.
    It activated on my Desktop and on my Surface Pro with no problem.
    I don't know how it goes for the non-commercial license.

    Wow, you can run Unity on a Surface Pro?

    No, IIRC that's one of the limitations of the cheap license they offer.

    Are you sure, have you tested it?

    Yes, it's a regular computer fit into a tablet form factor.

    No, I haven't. I doubt that they'd say it on their site if it wasn't true though, as it's a significant limitation.

    Guys - I have tested it. I just posted about it.
    I actually read the license file - it's on Studica's website (http://www.studica.com/resources/91Unity 35.pdf)

    The website DOES say: "Good for one activation on one computer".
    However I then read the license posted on the very same page:

    This is for the Commercial license and I'm not an educational or academic institution. I believe the Non-Commercial one has a special license with that one installation thing but it's extreemly cheap and also have a watermark - plus the license is only for a year.

    I think that the commercial license is like the normal one but with a 50% discount for teachers and students. At least I couldn't find a different license agreement.

    I don't guarantee you can do that if you buy the license. You can contact Unity and ask them. I read the license it says I can - I tried - it worked :)

    About the Pro. Yes Surface Pro runs Unity fine, but you'd need a mouse because Unity doesn't support Pen Input. I installed the Wacom Drivers and everything that supports drawing tablets works great except Unity. Other than the Intel HD Graphics, Surface Pro runs faster than my desktop. I bought it for college and it turned out awesome. I no longer have or need a laptop..
