Unity Pro won't let me use Pro Features

    I had been using pro features with my pro license for a while but today, while nothing else has changed, Unity (5.1 up to date) is not letting my point lights have shadows. I check in the inspector and it says "Point light shadows are only available for Unity Pro"

    My license is still good until July 1st, I've tried deactivating all current instances but Unity 5.1 doesn't ask me to re-input my key when I start it. I then launched Unity 4 and it asked for my key immediately. I put it in, and it works just fine with pro features. Go back to 5, still doesn't ask and won't let me use the features.

    Is there a place in 5 where I can manually check if my license is active?

    Side Note: Skin is still Unity Pro but I don't think that changes even if working offline/without key once activated at least one time.

    Edit:
    I went into Help->Manage License

    And activated the license manually there but to no avail.

    I think that's just a bug in the Inspector. Point light shadows are supported in Unity Personal edition just fine.

    Ah, gotcha. Well at least it's a known bug.
    I'll write up a short editor script for my point lights to adjust shadow settings. Not a hard work around
