License activation issues "Machine identification is invalid for current license"

I just did a clean install of Windows 10 x64, installed all of the updates and drivers. Installed Unity Hub, logged in and tried to activate a new license.
When doing it through 'Activate New License' > Unity Personal > "I don't use Unity in a professional capacity", I get "Your license sucessfully activated", next message "Machine identification is invalid for current license".
'Manual Activation'(completely new license, I didn't save my old one) - "Invalid license file"
I went through every google result with same or similar issues, absolutely none of them worked. I've probably reinstalled Hub about 30 times so far.
Followed articles such as - https://support.unity3d.com/hc/en-u...System-Why-is-my-license-failing-to-activate-
Looked through the license files, and while other people's files have their mac address as the key 5 value, mine contains nothing: <Binding Key="5" Value=""/>
I also submitted a bug report through the Hub, but I'm posting my issue here since last bug report I submitted a few months ago, I got absolutely no response.

I apologize, I completely missed the post in this section - https://forum.unity.com/threads/troubleshooting-licensing-errors-in-the-hub.850399/
Sadly it still didn't solve my issue. I cannot find the 'Return License' button, probably because there's no license there. Is there any other way I can return my license? Would that even be of any use?

 

Thank you for the detailed replies. Yes, I'm using Unity Hub 2.3.1. I also tried manually deleting the .ulf in ProgramData/Unity. I've done that while restarting and reinstalling the hub/unity processes.
I could only find the hub log, the folders for the editor and licensing don't exist.

Here are my logs, I'm experiencing the same issue

 

We are both missing the MAC address 'Cannot find binding5 (MAC Address): ' for unknown reasons. @dpshade22 do you also happen to be using an ethernet to usb adapter?

 

Is there really no way to get back into Unity while all this is going on?

I'd use Unity in Linux, but it's broken there as well. I can get in the editor at least, but the mouse doesn't loop when looking around in the scene and the input system doesn't register mouse input properly and makes it completely unusable. It's not even a new issue either, it's been around since 2014.

 

@danielo_unity that might have been because I tried deleting the rest of the keys except 1 and 2, which didn't really do anything so I deleted the file and let it regenerate again. Here's my command output:

Name : Ethernet
InterfaceDescription : Realtek USB GbE Family Controller
InterfaceOperationalStatus : 1
ConnectorPresent : True
PermanentAddress : hidden
NetworkAddresses : {hidden}
PNPDeviceI :

Also no, not running on a VM/docker.

 

The on-board one stopped working a long time ago and I've been using an ethernet to usb adapter since.

 

Yes I do, but the results of what Danielo said might interest you.

@danielo_unity here are the results of running the utility program:

(I didn't hide the MAC address, it's just not there)

If you meant to perform a manual activation to be able to get a license and get in the editor, that doesn't work either.

Finally! I've got an active license now!
Thanks everyone for the help, if there's any more info you need on the issue I'd be happy to provide.

@dpshade22 if you still have this issue, try out Danielo's workaround.

 

hi I am facing the same issue as mentioned here. How can I get my license back

 

i am facing same issue with HUB 3.1.0-beta.2
i replaced my HDD and imaged the existing HDD to the new HDD
now unityeditor doesnt open

on HUB 3.1.0-beta.1 UnityEditor shows the splashscreen and closes.
on HUB 3.1.0-beta.2 UnityEditor shows "No valid Unity Editor License Found Please activate your license!"

Tried to return my licenses and activated new one, license seems fine in Hub but Editor still complaining


Hub Logs Attached
Thanks

 

I am having the same problem on 3.0.1. Maxine from Unity made an article saying that 3.0.1 beta would fix this problem but it doesn't.

 

no it doesnt cose beta2 is out now as well
check this thread, people are using hub version 2.4.x and they posted some links however it's still not loading for me
it's been 3 days
i didnt completed system restore and still facing issues to load my projects.
UNITY HUB is a big failure imo sorry but its too messy
