    No.

    If you purchased a Unity 4 pro lisence you will need a new lisence for Unity 5. But check carefully, the lisence model changed between 4 and 5. Many devs no longer need pro.

    Well I know mine, I had got it like a week before 5 came out and they had that special or whatever going on (for the subscription at least like I got) where they gave you a Unity 5 Key once released.

    I'd get in touch with Customer Support and see if that offer is Valid for you.
    I only keep it for my Dark Theme and no Splash for PC games.

    Edit - actually closer to a month or two before it came out.

    As @BoredMormon said, check if you actually need it or not. The free/pro split of old isn't a thing anymore, if you would still like to upgrade your license though you can.

    @Aurore basically i need to add custom splash, for which i think i need pro license. And i need license for IOS and Android. So what you think , do i need to purchase License for each platform i mentioned ($1500 each) or is there any special up-gradation plan exists ?

    You will have to, yep... $4500 to put down. Or you can potentially have a little rebate if you want to show up the unity logo on your games. But you'll have to discuss that with a sales representative.

    It was only around $500-600 per platform to upgrade to 5 back when there was the pre-order period available for months. Now I guess it's $700-800.

    Discounts aside, upgrade pricing is always half the price of the normal license cost, so $750.

    True, totally forgot about the upgrade pricing... so basically $750 to upgrade to pro + $3000 for android pro and IOS pro = $3750

    Yes you will need to upgrade your Pro license, since you have 4 it would be half the price to upgrade to 5, $750. I'm not sure if you have iOS and Android currently? If you don't then you would be buying a new 5 license for both iOS and Android would be full price.

    However right now you can upgrade your perpetual 4 license to a 5 subscription for $40/month for 12 months instead, sign in on the store and add your license to your account to take a look at the deals and see what suits you best. https://store.unity3d.com/products/subscription_offer
