Do the License Terms apply to those not using a License?

It may seem self-explanatory, but I was wondering if Photon's License Terms (https://www.exitgames.com/Account/LicenseTerms) apply to those using Photon without a License?

Under Photon's Licenses page, it states that you are totally free to run Photon without a license, up to a 20 CCU limit. This is more than enough CCUs per server for the game I am currently working on, since it's a non-commercial student project. But part of our student project requires us to allow our users to make their own local servers, which means distributing a free, license-less version of Photon's SDK. I was just wondering if, by using Photon, we were still restricted by the license terms?

    Hey Jacob,

    yes, they apply to all Exit Games products.
    Also it seems the difference between Photon Server and Photon Cloud is not quite clear.

    Photon Server:
    you host your own Photon Server (usually with server logic) and need a license file to run it. License files can be downloaded here: https://www.exitgames.com/Download/Photon . There we provide you with a 100 CCU free license and an unlimited CCU 30 day trial license (the second mainly for the purpose of load testing).

    Photon Cloud:
    we host a Photon Server for you (no server logic atm) and you can connect to it using an application Id. For each of these application IDs there is a free plan including 20 CCU. You can manage your applications (create new ones, subscribe to paid plans, ...) here: https://cloud.exitgames.com/Dashboard

    Hope this helps.

    Best,
    Markus
