    Hi,
    I am going to give programming lessons with Unity in a classroom with 10 to 20 students.
    What is the best way to easily manage installation and licensing?
    A Unity account and a single license for everyone?
    One account and one license per computer?
    Im not sure how accounts and licences works and if can be shared real time.

    I'd contact support with this question, as most people on the forum aren't in the role of managing classroom licenses. The answer might depend on whether you're getting the licenses via the "License Grant Program", or if your school is instead paying for Pro licenses out of pocket. (I'm going out on a limb here assuming this classroom is part of a school or other institution with revenue totals which require Pro licensing).

    Hello, I have been teaching Unity for 3 years at University.
    I usually set up Unity for every computer beforehand without a license. And in the first lesson, I run trough creating an account for unity and getting an education license with my students and ask them to apply those licenses to their computer. In my class, every student has their seats assigned for them so they use the same license trough semester. And at the last lesson the delete their license from the computer and move on.

    Yes, Every student obtains their own student license to use.
