    I've just noticed, much to my surprise, that we are now able to give out vouchers for our published Asset Store Packages.
    Still cant really understand where people are actually able to redeem these codes. Can anybody give me a hint?

    I'll give a voucher for my "Asset Hunter" tool to the guy/girl who can tell me :)

    Oops,
    I guess I chanced on this post a little too late. :D

    Any idea how these work? Is there any explanation somewhere that you've found?

    Asset Store developers are able to issue 12 voucher codes per package, per year. There is a new tab in the publisher administration panel to do this.

    If you have a voucher code, I've explained how to redeem them here.

    Per package we release to the store we get 12 vouchers per year.
    These can be generated from your unity asset store publisher profile.

    Copy paste the identifier, give it to whoever.

    They can now redeem the voucher when looking at their unity account profile page.

    Thats's really cool for when you purchase something on paypal directly from the author before it hits the store!

    You are specifically not supposed to use vouchers for that, which is why the 12/year cap exists.

    The terms state: "Publishers are not allowed to sell vouchers or otherwise charge for them."

    It would be stretching the rules quite a bit to do as you say, I guess its mainly meant for promotional giveaways or friends or people who participated in beta

    Oh yes, this might be a handy trade for a review on a popular website to increase your Asset's exposure. :)

    Didn't notice it written, yet, but each voucher is a single-use voucher, meaning it can be used by one client/AssetStore account. If you need to give vouchers to 2 people, then you need to generate 2 vouchers and give each one a unique voucher. :)

    You should contact Unity support to let them know this problem.

    I've created a voucher for my asset, passed it on for someone to review but the get the following error when they
    attempt to redeem it.

    "Redeem other failure. Please try again"

    I've tried creating a second voucher code, same problem.

    Anyone know whats going on?

    This is odd but I'm unable to generate vouchers anymore, I'm sure I haven't reached my limit per year. I'm clicking on the button and nothing happens!! :eek:
