Info
titleUnity Hub - Account requirement

Unity Hub 3.4.2 requires the user to have their own Unity Hub ID. When prompted please skip the licensing process using the skip button as Unity will use AIE's Educational license as normal.


Warning
titleOneDrive service changes

Microsoft have limited the storage available for student license accounts to 100gb - this will cause existing students with over 100gb of Onedrive usage to stop syncing and become read only. Please backup your data to an external USB drive to ensure your data is safe.
If you require help with this, or have any further questions, please contact the IT Service Desk.

A resolution is being investigated.


Warning
