Unity Linux Editor 5.3.4f1: Activation from Terminal Not Working?

    We have set up a server without a display to make builds for our project running on Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity 5.3.4f1. Making builds directly from the terminal works perfectly.

    Trying to run the startup wizard using ssh with X11 or VNC crashes, so we were dealing with everything through the terminal.

    We would like to activate the version with our Pro License but the command:

    /opt/Unity/Editor/Unity -quit -batchmode -serial R3-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX -username 'JoeBloggs@example.com' -password 'MyPassw0rd'

    doesn't seem to be working. Has anyone had any success with this? There doesn't seem to be anything relevant in the Editor.log about it.

    We've found and fixed the issue in the 5.3.6 build.
