How to get professional license after I accidentally purchased the Personal? Theres no option to purchase the Professional anymore...

[@paluxyl.8682]

All 3 assets are over 6 years old, you can see it if you watch the video about them that can be found on the websites in the discriptions. I think the last falling asset is dated or got features that Unreal got in the basics now. My first thought was that Epic has done a mistake giving us all the old stuff. lol

[@warandcheeseofficial]

Don't forget to change the licence to Professional even if you are not a big company making loads of money right now. It will keep you future proofed. You never know how much they will hike the price later.

[@LordCoquitos]

A little warning about selecting personal. I just unintentionally got the Japanese Architecture pack as personal (page reloaded after I had selected professional) and it won't let me get the professional version now. So heads up.

[@RoyBarina]

Seems like it won't let you "buy" the other license regardless of what you've already bought..

[@RealFableFox]

​@@RoyBarina Please log this as bug report.

[@jomesias]

Thanks! Got them already! Also bought the Meshingun humble last night 🤘✌️

[@moonskined]

I can't add the professional version because I accidentally added the person version first. Kinda annoying.

[@nyomanbandarayani6830]

whichever you choose, you can't use them for commercial game. Because they belong to Personal Licence. It means you can't use it in commercial game, but only for your portfolio as environment artists

[@Possessed_Owl]

@@nyomanbandarayani6830 So what? I can only use the ones I bought for money in a commercial project? All free ones only for portfolio? Are you kidding?

[@Possessed_Owl]

@@nyomanbandarayani6830 You're talking nonsense. Learn to read and read the license terms.

[@olibeau7955]

Cool! I thought they stopped doing it when they transitioned from the Epic Store to Fab! Really nice they're still doing it, I have a huge collection of giveaway assets I'm constantly using.

[@pjkorab]

Huh, this time after I got the professional licence for all of these, I wasn't even able to "purchase" the personal licence (it showed me already owning it). I guess they're slowly but surely refining how this stuff works.

[@Chewy1914]

They are both the same license actually.

[@tmanook]

These free assets seem ok. Not complaining. They are free, after all. Anyway, much harder to keep track of the free stuff with the twice monthly change.

[@rolandbalogh889]

Epic is still giving out large sums of money to developers who's assets get featured here. The money should go to devs who have quality assets imo

[@johnnyli4702]

that first one is similar to both Modular Victorian House AND Vintage Room, so you could be thinking of either.

[@cjeff99]

Well that’s fun, I claimed the personal version before watching this video and now I am unable to upgrade to Professional. I just get a “Download” and “View in my library” button

[@tomoprime217]

How do you even get select the license type? I think I was defaulted to personal as well.

[@cjeff99]

@@tomoprime217 There's a license selection drop-down under the title of the asset. Above the buy button

[@Athasin]

HOW!?! How do you get these videos up so quickly. I JUST checked Fab and it still had last week's assets up.

[@tmdquentin5095]

I would guess he gets informed early by epic

[@Athasin]

@@tmdquentin5095 Maybe but it blew my mind because I literally was on the FAB website looking at the old assets, started an 8 min video about Ironmace vs Nexon (regarding Dark and Darker), went to the bathroom, came back to the video being done and this video being recommended saying it was uploaded 4 minutes ago. Dude is like the Flash.

[@cynth4941]

​@@tmdquentin5095Look at the store at 4:09 , it still has the old assets on when he recorded this, so they probably give him the assets earlier before they're made free on the store.

[@SchiZoFriends]

Thank you

[@button9]

The office has a similar layout to another asset I think. All different furniture but the office layout is the same so it may feel familiar.

[@ZenGaming6000]

also i think between the Personal and Professional Personal is for 1 licence per seat pet studio Professional is for multiple seats but i could be wrong

[@Chewy1914]

Both are the same standard license

[@Uncle_Fred]

I think Old Office was available as a free asset sometime in the past. I know I already have it.

[@RskSmiles]

Nice ❤

[@etherealregions]

Yeah. The new FAB way of doing things, is starting to annoy me. Especially the seemingly pointless licensing thing. I'm honestly starting to lose interest.

[@FlameHaze285]

Does it matter if I hit "Personal" or "Professional" when purchasing them?

[@eye776]

Yes, always get the Professional licenses

[@I24FFA]

@@eye776 i always find people saying this, but for some reason no one explains why? why should i get the professional tier if i didn't make 100k in the last 12 months???

[@Omar-Asim]

I got personal and now won't allow me to add the professional to cart (theres no button for it)

[@Crovea]

only matter if your revenue is high enough to require professional

[@alonsocerpa2745]

@@Omar-Asim Me too, in the other giveaways I was able to get both personal and professional licenses, so in this case I got the personal licenses first, but then I was unable to get the professional ones 😢

[@TroutButter]

"Water will cushion YOU fall!" lol

[@SaltyLTD]

The monthly assets have really gone downhill since they switched to fab.

[@jomesias]

Yes! I did like the stylized animal pack they gave away a month ago. But these look weak. In case you need it: Just bought a 30 usd Environments humble bundle from Meshingun studios las night! Everything you need in environments!

[@13udha]

i am so confused with the licenses can we only choose one of them now or are we getting the other as well? i got the personal with the "old office" because before i could just get the professional afterwards as well but now it just shows me download... with the other two i did it the other way round but kept a page open for each version and then i could still add both licenses

[@maxmustsleep]

you could take a minute on any post about it or their FAQ or read the lincense to get rid of the confusion. its not that hard. but in short they grant you the same rights, it's just dependent on your yearly revenue. People making

[@Michael-oy2ng]

Is it still legal if we move these assets into Blender and use them to make a video?

[@MochiRosu]

If I accidently claimed the assets in personal license, is there any way to claim the again in professional? Can i remove and add them again?

[@IElial]

Same issue. I used to grab both licence, but now when I grabbed/buy for free one licence, the other cannot be "bough" anymore as a Download button replace it ...

[@maxmustsleep]

i don't think so. You don't need to worry about it though if you're making less than 100k a year. just make sure you just choose professional next time. it doesn't make much sense to buy both.

[@mjaada]

The office is great

[@GameUnionTV]

Do you ever sleep?

[@TheDigitalGuerrilla]

Did they change the threshold from a million to 100k?

[@gamefromscratch]

Two different thresholds. One is eligibility for the studio license, the other is the earnings you can make before you pay royalties on UE.

[@maxmustsleep]

no it always was 100k for fab's new professional license tier. one million is the threshold for the engine.

[@GamingEntertainment..]

fast bro

[@maxmustsleep]

pretty sure he gets early access to cover them as a reviewer/news person

[@kipa_chu]

I lose my interest in products as soon as companies introduce multiple levels on license. Exact reason I switched to Godot from Unity.

[@CCGS]

I miss when things were more stylized... it's cool that we can use such realistic stuff but hyper realism is so *boring*. I do appreciate you making these videos though, you're shockingly quick with them 😂

[@johnes2337]

I guess hyper realism is more reliable and consistent than stylization, which can highly vary depending on the artist of the asset.

[@CCGS]

@johnes2337 that's true, I suppose that's its boon and it's bane simultaneously.. it's easier to find artists that can match it stylistically when it's realistic, but you lose that uniqueness and it all feels generic, at least imo...

[@johnes2337]

@@CCGS I guess generic is good for consistency and expansion. If you need another asset, item, or enemy for a realistic game, you could just easily find one and buy one. Unlike in a stylized game, where you would need to find another asset that somewhat resembles the art style or just make a new model yourself (which would kinda the defeat the purpose of purchasing assets in the first place).

[@hjqw1pe]

Fab December after No Nut November?

[@Thermal3D882]

I really wish they would replace all the 3D model giveaways with Blueprints or Particle/Physics Systems. 3D models are nice, but they're nowhere near as valuable as some of the blueprint and particle systems on the market place. They were really popping off when they made one of the FluidNinja sets free. Things have severely degraded.

[@maxmustsleep]

this is not just down to epic you know. they can't just pick the greatest assets and give them away for free. the creators need to opt in, effectively dropping thieir sales to near 0 for the next year or two while significantly increasing support requests. That can be viable for some packs but there are creators that need to make a living off of these plugins/packs. i agree the selection this week is kinda bad but it's free stuff.

[@eloyball]

These seem a bit... lackluster

[@TheAnimeLibrary-]

Free stuff is getting worst I hope it is only an unlucky month

[@SushiCoding]

Getting environments is like getting socks for Christmas. Give me something I can use to make a game like characters, animations, or game systems!

[@mybadgaming6786]

What a joke this has become. This Please "Complete a security check" that do not work. I have tried so many times but it still say I failed the security check. I know I am doing it correct. What a bunch of Bull!!!!!!!!!!!!! This FAB has broken UE for good. Think I will start using some other game engine.

[@vvvorlds]

This whole Giveaway shows where it's going. The office looks like Bioshock. Japanese traditional skyscrapers? ok... usable! Newtonian Physics? You mean, normal game physics? Sergey Galyonkin, was the guy from Ukraine, who came up with this free stuff marketing for EGS. It didn't work out, because the shop had no community functions. Some people say, he also got too emotional. He got fired. But Epic already bought a bunch of real world assets to reduce their taxes. So, now they are trying to figure it out, how to reduce their losses and create finally a working shop. The problem is, you do not have communities and not having free speech, because you not have moderation. This whole operation is much more expensive then establishing a ways to pay for your purchases. Edit - But, because, every next game will be made in UE5 , they will make it.
