secondary user with single license
« on: April 16, 2012, 03:05:34 PM »
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm pretty new to the unity asset store and using extension packages.

I have a designer/artist on my two-person team who is itching to open my unity project in order to make some edits to my snazzy new ngui UI.
He gets all the ngui folders (because I checked those into our source control depot), but he has obviously not yet gotten the ngui package installed on his system.
Therefore I get a variety of errors, and the NGUI menu doesn't appear.

I always download my own updates through the asset store, but I don't understand how other team members might access the packages downloaded from the asset store.
Should I log into my asset store account on his computer? Is there some other way that I'm missing? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but it seemed from your site that the intent was that multiple users could use the single purchase license.

Thanks,
Jan-Erik

Just add the NGUI folder to your source code repository and you should be set. Nothing else should be needed. I always just copy the NGUI folder from one project to another.

Ok, that's good to know. I must just have missed something, but at least now I know that it should work the way I was doing it.

Thanks!

If it has compiler errors, the menus won't show up unless they were already there.

It's an inherent strength/weakness of the Unity Asset store that once you have a package, you have it for a million billion computers. It's not really fair to addon developers when a huge company can use their addon for many games, while a little indie can use it for 1 at the same price. But them's the breaks so far.
