How to retrieve and return Unity license in TeamCity Cloud build
EDIT : I figured this out.
I had to create 3 Unity Steps.
Step 1 : Retrieve License
Step 2 : Build
Step 3 : Return License
Passing in the relevant params per step, as per
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CommandLineArguments.html
-----------------------------------------------------
I am trying to understand how to retrieve a Unity license, so I can build with my CI/CD pipeline on TeamCity cloud, and then return the license.
The TeamCity Unity runner doesn't share any information on how to set this up, and there are no fields.
The Unity documentation says, run the following command to retrieve the license for the build...
"C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe" -batchmode -username name@example.edu.uk -password XXXXXXXXXXXXX -serial E3-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX –quit
And then it mentions to run the following command, to return the license, once the build is complete
"C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe" -quit -batchmode -returnlicense
So I am trying to add the following command line option for the command line arguments..
-batchmode -username email@email.com -password myPassword -serial SB-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX –quit -returnlicense
But I still get a license error, here is the build log..
Step 1/1: Unity (5s)[22:27:23][Step 1/1] Starting: "C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe" -batchmode -projectPath ./ -buildTarget Win64 -nographics -batchmode -username email@email.com -password myPassword -serial SB-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX –quit -returnlicense -quit -logFile

I'm not sure I've set this up right, I have double checked my credentials and Unity license key, so that is all correct.
Can someone point me in the right direction.Thanks
