License issues using Unity hub on a Windows PC and a Mac

I work on a mac and a windows pc (separately) for development for different platforms (notably the mac is just used for IOS development). Anyway, this seems to cause constant issues when swapping the license between machines, and Unity Hub sometimes just refuses to allow me to open it with the 'unity personal' option on one machine when I want to keep the license on the other machine for exporting builds when I return to it.

The most annoying thing is unity hub just asks for an offline activation when I have tried to simply activate it as Unity Personal so that I can just get into unity and start working on bits on the machine that I don't currently keep the license on.

I know the main issue here is that Apple is insistent on IOS building only happening on macs with Xcode but this issue with Unity asking for an offline license file is not helping the workflow either.

 

Hi Joe, I often swap between my desk Windows PC and mac to build projects on each separately, each time i transfer the license between them by using the Editor Unity License menu in a version of unity to 'Return License', then on the other machine I goto the same menu and use 'Activate New License' and paste the Unity license serial code into it. This generally works fine between the machines when I need to swap between them as I know the license can only be present on one machine at a time.

The issue raises it's head with Unity Hub 0.20.1, I have been using various previous versions of Unity hub before updating to 0.20.1
