    Hi,
    we develop a game with Unity 4, and we would like to buy a pro version (only for the web player/standalone for now).
    So i have two questions:
    - when unity 5 will be released, will i have the choose to upgrade or not upgrade the software? (i want to keep working with other computers with unity 4)
    - if i buy a pro version for android/ios later (when unity 5 is released), will i be able to activate this licences with unity 4? (or will i be forced to upgrade my unity before).
    Thanks for your answers!

    How do you "pre-order" Unity 5?

    I want to take advantage of receiving Unity 4 Pro by pre-ordering Unity 5 today, but there's nothing telling me I'm gauranteed Unity 4 during the checkout process.... Just a little advertisement on the "buy" webpage.

    I want to make sure I'm getting Unity 4 Pro as well.

    Once 5.x ships we'll no longer sell 4.x licenses. However, conventionally, a N.x serial will be able to activate a (N-1).x version of Unity.

    Note that the terms of the EULA say that everyone in your team needs the same version of Unity. Your use of "we" and "other computers" makes me think you'll need more than a single Pro license to not violate the EULA.
